America's train system is a joke compared to Europe and Asia. So slow. It would be better than flying if it was actually fast.

The price of some of these tickets is cheaper than parking in a city.

Used to take the train from NYC to Montreal, perhaps the most picturesque journey ever all for $70

Was looking forward to getting a deal but as usual, Amtrak disappoints with their bait and switch tactics. The fares say "as low as" meaning the sample one-way fares listed in the OP are the best case scenario (likely for off hours) not the guaranteed price of the one-way ticket.

I just tried a few different options with the DC to New York leg and the lowest I found was for $64 during off peak times (7PM). by the time I add others in my family, the fare shoots up. Still not a bad deal and beats the cost of a plane ticket but I have not been successful with these fares in the past, or this time based on peak travel.

Amtrak has always been infinitely more relaxing than cramped airplanes, and they always have electric outlets. It probably varies by route.

The worst part is delays due to cargo trains owning the rails. We need our own high-speed rail system here in the US!
