Amtrak

​​​​​​​​From Erik
Bcausee NYC is a big part of my life, I ride and love Amtrak! The Northeast corridor (from Boston to Washington DC) is the only stretch of track that Amtrak owns. Amtrak trains run on freight rails just about everywhere else. For long haul trips, I prefer sleeper service or business class. On shorter routes, I'll ride in business or the Acela. The food is getting better and I love letting Amtrak handle the transportation for me whenever I can.
