Highways have gotten more crowded, it’s more traffic. It’s stressful. Like I don’t have to worry about any of that when I’m on the train. Here. I can sit back and relax that can be productive.

Amtrak and the State Department of Transportation announced a partnership Monday to get New Yorkers to the Fairgrounds this August.
Four Amtrak trains will make daily stops at the Fairgrounds in Syracuse starting Wednesday, August 21, and running through Monday, September 2. More than 3,000 New Yorkers rode the direct trains in 2023, according to Senior PR Manager, Jason Abrams.
“People enjoy taking the train to the state fair. That’s why we keep bringing it back every single year,” said Abrams. “It beats traffic. It beats having to pay for gas.”
The partnership between Amtrak and the Great New York State Fair began in 2002 and has run every year, except in 2020 when the Fair was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Train tickets are now on sale at Amtrak.com, on the Amtrak app, at station ticket counters, and by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
