We awoke in Erie, Pennsylvania.  As we ate our breakfast in the dining car we passed many vineyards.  One of our table mates told us they were wine grapes.  Somewhere in New York state it started to rain lightly.  It didn't last, but it continued to be cloudy.  The last part of the trip, along the Hudson River, was especially pretty.

As the sun was going down we passed under the George Washington Bridge.

We arrived at Penn Station in New York on time at 6:30 p.m.
Total miles this leg:  959.

From the station we walked a few blocks to our hotel.  Our room is on the 12th floor and faces the street.  From our window we can see the Empire State Building.

After dinner we decided to walk to Times Square.  It was fun, but somewhat overwhelming, with all the people.  So we returned to our room and went to bed.
