Hi All...New to this forum, and first time Amtrak trip booked for June 25 , From Tampa,Fl to Syr.NY. Taking my 3 yr old grand daughter too...So I have many questions and have been scouring this site,Amtrak and YouTube in order to educate myself abit on what to expect.. Here is my first of probably many questions....Hopefully some of you experienced travelers can give some insight... Here goes: Since we will be changing from the Silver Meteor at Penn Station to the Empire Service, on to Syracuse, I'm wondering once getting off the Meteor and trying to locate the the departing gate for the Empire Service; can anyone tell me if that is a long hike from one gate to the next? I have to decide whether to bring a stroller or not...The thought of getting tangled up in heavy crowds at Penn Station concerns me with the little one and so if alot of walking is involved would feel more confident with her secured in the stroller. However if it is just a short walk, then I have no concerns and would be happy not to have the extra burden of that stroller. Also if the stroller is needed, would that be considered as the second carryon?
