a year on Amtrak. Catch it at BWI station which is a 20 min drive from my home and ~ 3 hour train ride, read, watch the scenery/anti-scenery go by, have my little duffle/backpack maybe a ten minute walk to my favorite hotel. museums, US Open Tennis, Rockettes, figure out something new to do each time. I can walk 20 blocks so perfect for me.

Big fan of AMTRAK! But the current version of the ACELA isn't worth it. -- great2bahokie Nov 06, 2025 at 09:38 AM ET

Yeah, the NE takes 3 hours for me to NYC, the Acela takes 2 1/2 ... -- `lag Nov 06, 2025 at 02:26 PM ET
