Day trip from NYC to Peekskill - Metro North Railway along the Hudson | Americas train travel vlog

My sister and I were on holiday in New York in May, and we took the train to Peekskill, where we went for a walk and then went to meet friends who live in Jersey City. We had a lovely little day trip and I loved the river views from the train!

I live in Zurich and most of my train travel is around there, and I'm trying to visit all 1720 Swiss public transport train stations... wish me luck!
However, this is Episode 1 of my 'Americas Train Travel' series. I don't have a specific goal for how many stations to visit in the US and Canada, and I'm not sure if I'll ever do any train travel in South or Central America, but why not keep track anyway!

Train stations newly visited today:
Grand Central (NYC)
Peekskill
(I'm counting a train station as visited if I've spent 15min in the area, or walked/cycled from it to another train station or vice versa.)

Note about my All Swiss Stations project: For the number of Swiss stations which form part of the public transport system, I have linked the relevant source on my website, but since that data changes, the total I'm working towards may also change. Sorry about the inconsistencies across videos as a result!
