As I’ve mentioned in other threads, I’m going to the People’s republic of Baltimore. This time we’re going by train. My coworker got a wild hair and convinced me to try it. So far the experience isn’t too bad. It’s more comfortable than driving and doesn’t seem to be much slower even though you have brief stops you make up for it with faster speeds at times than the car would have.
More comfortable than flying. WiFi works. More room, with plenty of luggage room. You can get up and move without issue and it’s rather inexpensive.
Of course the rules are no guns except checked baggage, which I could see being an issue. Checked baggage needs to be 45 minutes before departure but you get a few minutes warning and I think where I got one they’d give you queer looks if you tried to check a bag. Of course there are no scanners, no TSA, none of that BS either.
We will see how it goes by the end of the trip. Got on at 8:15 in High Point and I’m now in Cary.
