  I assure you, Amtrak isn’t good. There’s only one stretch near me where it’s faster to train than drive, and Amtrak makes the price about 8x the cost of driving (or 32x if you have passengers)

    Amtrak isn’t good

    Going from DC to NYC without stepping onto a plane or fighting traffic is such a blessing.

      And you’ve nailed the only functioning service line I was referring to in one go :)
