Amtrak's Ethan Allen Express

The Amtrak Ethan Allen Express operates daily between New York City and Burlington, Vermont, stopping at various locations along the way, including Rutland and Albany.

The train, named after American patriot Ethan Allen, offers passengers a picturesque journey through the stunning landscapes of upstate New York and Vermont. It provides a view for every season, from the vibrant fall foliage to the snow-covered winter vistas to the lush summer greenery. It treats you to a ride of relaxation and scenery.

Amtrak regional trains, such as the Ethan Allen, can provide a great business or leisure travel experience. This article will provide the necessary information, including the timetable or schedule, to help you plan your next trip easily.

The Amtrak route guide for Ethan Allen provides more information about the route’s stops.

Amtrak Ethan Allen Express Coach Class

I have spent countless hours traveling in coach seats on Amtrak, listening to podcasts or music while enjoying the beautiful scenery that passes by. It’s worth noting that you can visit the cafe by car during your journey – I’ll provide more details later. Coffee from the cafe car tastes better as you ride along the tracks.

If you need to work while on the train, a seat-back tray can hold a computer or tablet, and a power outlet on the wall. Amtrak’s Wi-Fi may not always be the fastest, but it is free to use.

The Ethan Allen Express Coach class features:

• Comfortable seats
• A fold-down tray
• Individual reading lights
• Seat back pocket
• 120V grounded (three-prong) electric outlets.
• A luggage rack is above the seats, with a luggage shelf at one end of the car.
• Two restrooms in each car
• Seating is first come, first served. You are not assigned a seat but a car.

For added comfort and convenience, I suggest you pack an extension cord to make accessing electricity from the window or aisle seat easier. Also, pack your headphones, chargers, and cables in your bag so you’re ready and charged when you get off the train.

Business class on the Amtrak Ethan Allen Express

This service provides everything Coach Class offers and a bit more.

Wi-fi & Entertainment

Amtrak Wi-Fi is free and available on this train. Although it is free, it has some restrictions and often does not allow streaming, downloading, or uploading large files.

This train does not offer streaming entertainment, but here are some entertainment ideas for Amtrak trains.

Food Amtrak Ethan Allen Express

The Earthen Allen has a cafe car that offers a variety of hot and cold meals, snacks, and a selection of hot, cold, and alcoholic beverages.

The cafe car attendant is available for all customers for most of the journey, but it may be closed at the start and end of the route.

You are allowed to bring food and drink onto the train; however, you cannot consume alcohol that you did not purchase on the train. If you’d like an adult beverage, you can buy one in the cafe car.
