Does anyone know how long the train takes to travel from Rochester to Manhattan? (without delays!)

Thank you!

For that you should look at Amtrak's schedule, but expect delays.

Just go to Amtrak.com, click Timetables, and select Empire Service. Travel time is about 7-8 hours.

You're probably there and back by now, but, just to share a rule of thumb, when you get tickets, be aware that train #48, in particular, comes from Chicago and is more likely to be quite late by the time it hits Rochester than the other trains are. On the other hand, #48 has a real Dining Car, while the other trains through Rochester have a snack car.
