Amtrak Northeast Regional

Cons: Quantico, Virginia should only be for military personnel. It was very difficult for my family member to pick me up from the base. It was difficult to get in for my returned trip. Also the tracks could be labeled there we only arrows. Only one side had a bench ti sit on. The train conductor was nice enough to stop and ask where I was headed and let me cross to get on. Tips: If you’re not military persons don’t get off at Quantico, Virginia.
