To the Editor:

I don't know where to start: my family, friends, and community are amazing. As soon as they heard I was in an accident they all pulled together to help me. I am so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. Words cannot even begin to explain how I feel. So many people are helping me one way or the other.

My family and close friend have been with me from the beginning. They have been by my side with support, comfort, encouragement, rides, and the move to get me closer to home. So many things to list. I love you all and thank you all.

There are several things going on in the community. Go Fund Me by my best friend Ally, a softball tournament, Team Becky Bracelets (it is what it is), a motorcycle run, donations, and a pancake breakfast. Thanks to Tim, Bruce, Dan, John, Midge, Laura, Joe, Eddie, the Greylock Community Club, softball team members and co-workers. I want to thank them all. Also, all of the people who gave money, time, support, encouragement.

I am so grateful; I wish I could list everyone. Thank you all so much for everything; I can't thank everyone enough.



I am not emotional about my situation, but I have been emotional about how much everyone cares about me and what everyone is doing for me. I never realized how many lives I have touched during my life. It is a wonderful feeling to know we live in such a great community. Thank you all for everything. It means the world to me.

Love, Becky

Tickets On Sale for Berkshire Flyer

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Amtrak, in conjunction with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), announced tickets are now on sale for the Berkshire Flyer.
 
The Berkshire Flyer is a seasonal summer passenger rail service that operates between New York City from Moynihan Train Hall and Pittsfield. The service, which began as a successful pilot in 2022, is scheduled to resume on Friday, June 21 through Monday, Sept. 2 for Labor Day weekend. Trains depart New York City Friday nights and return at the end of the weekend, leaving Pittsfield Sunday afternoon.
 
In addition, for the first time this year, the Berkshire Flyer service now includes a train from New York City to Pittsfield on Sunday mornings.
 
"We're thrilled to announce this season's Berkshire Flyer service," said Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt. "The Berkshire Flyer makes visiting Western Massachusetts on weekends convenient, relaxing, and easy. We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Amtrak, the New York State Department of Transportation and CSX."
 
The Berkshire Flyer departs from Moynihan Train Hall at 3:16 p.m. on Fridays and arrives at Joseph Scelsi Intermodal Transportation Center in Pittsfield at 7:27 p.m. The train will make all intermediate station stops as the scheduled Amtrak Empire Service train does in New York State on Fridays, which include Yonkers, Croton-Harmon, Poughkeepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson, and Albany-Rensselaer Station. 
 
The Sunday return trip, making all the same station stops, will depart Pittsfield at 3:35 p.m. and arrive in New York at 7:55 p.m. The new Sunday Berkshire Flyer train from New York City to Pittsfield will depart Moynihan Train Hall at 10:50 a.m. and arrive in Pittsfield at 3:15 p.m.
 
The Berkshire Flyer is building upon two successful seasons where some of the Pittsfield-bound trains were sold out well in advance. Based on that experience, passengers planning a trip are encouraged to purchase tickets early by visiting Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
