I took it once a few years back, was about 9.5 hours. The trip can be as short as 8 or as long as 11 hours, depending on the time spent at the border.

Very comfortable way to travel, lots of legroom and smooth ride.

From New York till the Capital region is very scenic along the Hudson River, after that would depend if there is snow or not.

I traveled it many years ago, it was a great experience.

If it would be similar tot he Swiss trains, it would have been such great experience, but unfortunately, it's turtle slow, stops every 30 minutes, border crossing takes forever.

I was thinking of getting off at Plattsburgh and rent a car there, this is I think the best way to do it and have the experience.

True, can easily save a couple hours that way.
