Planning a trip to Niagara Falls on US side only (Amtrak)

Planning a trip to Niagara Falls on US side only (Amtrak) - View Of Niagara Falls And The Cityscape At Night

We will be taking the train to visit Niagara. Following is the plan which we have created. We will be taking the Empire Service from New York Penn to reach Niagara Falls. If, the train reaches on time, then we will have some time to visit Niagara fall at night to view it.

This is the first time, we will be going there so would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this:

  1. Is the time gap between the train enough knowing that Empire Service has 52% probability to travel on time (based on Amtrak Website)
  2. During the return trip, we will be arriving at 23:45 in New York Penn. Will restaurants be opened in the station at that late at night? If there any waiting room where we can wait for our next train at 3:00 AM in the morning.

Below is the itinerary which I am planning.
