Taking the Train from D.C. to New York Without Ever Boarding Amtraknew
It's no wonder that Amtrak rules the well-traveled path up and down the Northeast Corridor. It's fast, the stations are conveniently located, and it's comfortable -- but that comfort comes at a price -- $97 for the regular train and $188 for the high-speed Acela. So I found another option.
