One trick in the NE corridor northbound from DC is you can sometime board long-distance services in coach and take advantage of the comfier long-distance seats. The catch is that the arrival times are less predictable. Silver/Palmetto service can be up to an hour early or nearly half a day late. from DC northbound.
That is an interesting route. Spending 3 hours in Philadelphia to sleep is something. I am surprised they didn't add a sleeper car to that train. They used to in the past.
@@SoloTravelSolTube at one point they ran sleeper cars from Boston to DC, and vice versa, for over night service so businessmen can arrive in the morning.
New video!! Everytime I took the NR to NYC for work from DC it was a crazy boarding experience. However, I always walk all the way down and it's fairly nice to get a good seat :)
