Okay, first long-distance train ride in the US. Charlottesville, VA to Boston, MA. Scheduled for 12h 20m, over Washington D.C. First train is already delayed by a good hour. Wish me luck 😀
First impressions: very comfortable train cars, with a pretty decent AC setting (but not too cold!), which I didn't really expect in 37°C weather. Seats are something to get used to, you literally sink into them. Tray table is large and a ton of legroom.
Caught my connecting train in DC, but just barely. Now onward through Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and then Massachusetts. The trains are not too fast, but because they only call at stations in larger cities we're making pretty good progress.
