The Susquehanna Express will be operated by Amtrak and will consist of both Amtrak-owned and privately-owned railcars of various types. Each class of service is distinct from the others. We recommend reading about each car type before making your selection

 

 

COACH CLASS

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Sit in comfortable wide coach seating, with tray tables, electric outlets, and all the comforts of home. Our coaches have two seats on each side of the aisle. Each seat has a wide picture window for you to soak in the scenic vistas of our route. Food and drinks will be available in the Commissary Car for purchase.

 

 

FIRST CLASS

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Relax in vintage lounge and parlor cars that have been lovingly restored by their new owners. Each First Class car is distinct and has its own unique design, but each one contains large picture  windows, comfortable seating, and is less crowded, offering a homey atmosphere.

 

First Class passengers will also receive non-alcoholic beverages as part of their fare.
