en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amtrak, in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), has announced the return of the seasonal Berkshire Flyer passenger rail service for the summer of 2026. Connecting New York City and Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the service will begin operation on Friday, June 12, running every Friday and Sunday through Sunday, September 19.

The Berkshire Flyer departs from New York City's Moynihan Train Hall, serves intermediate stops including Albany-Rensselaer in New York State, and terminates at the Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. A key change this year is the addition of a second round-trip, allowing travelers to depart from Pittsfield to New York City on Fridays and return on the Sunday train, enabling weekend travel in both directions.

The train operates one round trip each Friday and Sunday, making intermediate stops consistent with those of the Amtrak Empire Service trains on corresponding days, including Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, Poughkeepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson, and Albany-Rensselaer stations in New York State. Tickets can be purchased through the Amtrak website, mobile app, or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
