Great American Railroad Journeys
New York City to Albany
S1 E103:
Michael Portillo travels along the Hudson River through New York State. Beginning at Penn Station, he hears from Amtrak's police chief how railroad policing tackled notorious train robbers such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. At Tarrytown, Michael is spooked by a famous ghost story. In Albany, he samples Albany Ale before rubbing shoulders with the state senator.
