Amtrak Carolinian

Pros: Be able to sit back and relax enjoy the view read talk take a nap or just chill. Cons: You need to let people know traveling to DC they're going to lose a half an hour changing from Electric to diesel and reverse from DC going north losing a half an hour, more conductors for you to get on the train at various points instead of one where it's chaos just trying to get on to the train with the crowd, having seats when you buy seats and being told you have to wait to get to DC when people get off so you can have a seat, not good. Tips: Try to get on the train first they have shortage of staff to get you on Carry something to keep you warm.
