Amtrak Northeast Regional | Train 66: Washington D.C. → New York 🚄

A smooth and surprisingly affordable ride on the East Coast’s iconic rail line — for just $55, you get an experience that outshines even first-class high-speed rail in many other countries. 🌙 The Night Train Vibe Departs D.C.’s Union Station at 10:00 PM, gliding through sleeping cities Scheduled arrival at New York Penn Station: 5:30 AM — though we pulled in 40 minutes early 🕒 A 4-hour layover-style pause in Philadelphia? Perfect for catching some real sleep 😴 💺 Travel in Comfort Tidy, spacious seats with more legroom than you’d expect Quiet Car strictly respected — a haven of calm all night long Friendly and mindful passengers — shoutout to the guy across me heading all the way to Portland, who never once disturbed me and even kindly woke me as we rolled into NY 🫡 💰 Budget Traveler’s Dream Skip an expensive night in a New York hotel — sleep on the move Scenic early morning views as you approach the city that never sleeps Clean, functional, and genuinely pleasant 🇨🇳 A Personal Comparison Train travel back home just isn’t what it used to be — aging slow trains replaced by generic “bullet-style” models, with ticket prices soaring and charm fading. Here, for $55, I got a journey that felt both nostalgic and refreshingly human. #Amtrak #TrainTravel #WashingtonToNY #BudgetTravel #NortheastCorridor #NightTrain
