News of Amtrak returning service of the Adirondack line as early as April 3 is welcoming for many. The Adirondack runs from New York City to Montreal with several stops in between including Plattsburgh. The service has been shuttered north of Albany for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been popular for years for New Yorkers as well as Montrealers as a travel option to reach the massive Adirondack Park or to travel between the two major cities or points in between. Many college students at SUNY Plattsburgh and Clinton Community College who hail from the New York City area have relied on the Adirondack to travel back and forth to school for years.
