Right on the name, I was remembering when we took it in the early 1970s and took the night train back. We were in a very tired NYC sleeper but there was a lounge car. Locked up the Canadian taxed beer at the border and opened another refrigerator.
True there is no business class on the Adirondack. I ride it often to VA. The windows are the same as the coaches, they've added drapes on the windows and the seats have more legroom and a foot rest. Also frees soft drinks. With a cup of coffee at $3.50 now in the cafe car I drink most of the price difference.
