My First Time Riding Amtrak’s NORTHEAST REGIONAL | Philadelphia- Baltimore Trip Report 

I’m very glad people are starting to use Amtrak… If they upgraded their fleet and up the speeds, people would use it more often. Too bad the freighters got more power outside the northeast corridor lol

30th St Station is wonderful and I have rode on the N.E.Regional. Thanks for a good video.

I know this video was the northeast regional but every other week I take the Keystone Service round trip from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia to Harrisburg, PA. It’s a comfortable train as well with good seats and plug sockets for your iPhone. 😊

In August of 2024, I’m gonna be going on the cardinal going from Chicago Union Station to Washington DC to see my dad’s side of the family, it’ll be my first time in a roomette on Amtrak, and the last time I did a major Amtrak journey, I was five or six years old, and last time I also went to DC, but I took the capital limited, which is just 17 hours of a ride, and this time at union station, I’ll be visiting the Metropolitan lounge for the first time, and the ride will have better scenery along the way, and the ride will be almost 24 hours, and it’ll also be my first time in a viewliner, and if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to have dinner in the flexible dining car which is only for people in a private room.

Philly 30thst station one of my fav stations !! Union station wash DC is great too

Great video!

One would have to two take two MD buses and possibly two Dart buses to close the gap between Perryville and Newark

They’ve been talking for YEARS of reopening an abandoned station in Elkton, MD (where I live) with extending MARC, and hopefully SEPTA. But nothings happened yet. 😞 i think the last regular service to Elkton was the Amtrak Chesapeake commuter that ended in the 70s or 80s and was replaced by MARC.

I appreciate the great content. One thing though. You teased us with "they have a cafe car" but you did not show us the cafe care. I personally rate a train to whether it has a cafe car or not. :)

More "Mud Maps" Thom😆! It is pleasing to see that many grand stations are still being used for train travel. Those coach seats sure looked so comfortable compared to the new seats on the replacement passenger cars. I've heard negative reviews about the new seating. Where you aware that former US President Gerald Ford grew up in Grand Rapids? He was born in Omaha Nebraska but spent most of his time in GR. Thanks for uploading and proving that trains are awesome and that there are so many places to visit in the US. Looking forward to your Baltimore upload.

I also rode that train for the first time

I like Philly 30th st station. it's so huge.

I actually did this but I was going to New York in the summer of 2023

Have you done a full BOS to DC northeast corridor video?

What actually is the line between "commuter" and "intercity" rail? Is Avanti West Coast "commuter rail" between Crewe and Lancaster? Is Great Western Railway "commuter rail" between Bristol Parkway and Swansea (or even between London Paddington and Reading)?

Does NJ Transit offer service to Philadelphia? Learn something new everyday!

Great video. I just recently found your channel. Evidently, the "aircraft" that could land on the roof of the building were autogyros, as they existed before helicopters. You can see a video of one taking off from the roof of the neighboring Post Office building, carrying air mail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qoyWsg6Dxno.html The building has a chapel that was also used to temporarily store caskets of war dead being returned from WW2 and the Korean War.

How much was the fare for northeast regional ticker

How much luggage can me and my two kids can bring I have over 8 suitcases lol

I was at Amtrak last night the driver throw me off.

As of now masks aren’t required
