Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: On time. Cons: Amtrak needs to come to an agreement with Quantico base so they can allow people to pick up their family!!! I was frustrated because my brother couldn’t pick me up and had to walk 40 minutes to the gate.

Pros: The Tracks tools us though scenic areas. From wooded lots with streams, to smaller towns with the tracks running adjacent to Main Street. Cons: I was happy for the power strips along the walls next to the seats. I was not expecting them and even brought a travel charger for my phone. Tips: Just to consider all their options. Cost wise and time wise a Train is competitive with traveling by car and avoids the hazards of the road it also allows everyone to indulge, with proper planning.
