The Ride Home or Why I Love Amtrak (Again!)

Once again, my love of train travel is reinforced. We left our hotel at 8:52am, arrived at Penn Station at 9:02am, and had plenty of time to spare to catch our 9:35am train. The train left right on time and we enjoyed great views of the mid-Atlantic. I especially love it when we cross the Susquehanna River.

I’ve decided that unless I am pressed for time, the Northeast Regional is the train to take in the future. It’s not as crowded as the Acela, there is more legroom, and it’s less expensive. Yes, it does take 35-45 more time, but in the grand scheme of things, that’s no time at all. And since there is AC power in every row, I can work, or CJ can watch a movie.
