Acela goes into Penn Station, the only stop in NYC and while there are 
stairs/escalators to get
to the subway, that's about it.

the MTA uses Grand Central, which Amtrak got out of years ago after the 
tunnel to Penn
from the Hudson River line was finally constructed.

The Hudson River Line is shared as far north as Poughkeepsie, with 
Amtrak using fewer
stations than the MTA. the Amtrak trains are not Acela units, but more 
conventional
diesels.
