    Just out of curiosity where about are you taking this? Amtrak in the northeast corridor is a vastly different service from Amtrak in the rest of the country.

      Tbf that’s true of any service. Internet, cellular, interstate, etc. it’s wildly different living in the West before you hit the coast.

        Interesting, the stuff I usually look at for examples is Midwest areas. For instance Cleveland to New York city is around a 7 and to 8 hour drive but Amtrak schedules it at 13 hours and I guarantee that route will have a delay.

          yeah that tracks. delays are common, and it tends to be a little under twice the drive time.

          i wouldnt call it convenient travel, but for my ride its definitely cheaper than driving or flying.

        Ah, that explains it. You guys are already used to moseying along, so the time the train takes doesn’t bother you.
