The Northeast Regional Amtrak route is a popular rail service between Boston and Norfolk, Virginia. With many stops at large U.S. cities, the train is a convenient way to get around the East Coast for business or pleasure. While on board, enjoy WiFi, a quiet car, cafe and Business Class seating. Several late-night trains also have sleeper cars, so you can also book a roomette or bedroom for your trip.
As I stepped into Union Station in Washington D.C., I felt a reminisce of Rome. It is a stark contrast from the recent stations I visited. It is actually bigger than the US Capitol right down the street, and is adorned with the sculptures of prominent Greeks such as Prometheus and Apollo.

Union Station, Washington’s most visited destination, is built from white granite and is as grand as the city’s other public buildings (all within walking distance). Besides being a working Amtrak station, a whopping 37 million travelers visit its underground shopping concourse, shoppers, and D.C. natives annually.
Departing the Union Station, I boarded the Amtrak Northeast Regional night train in Coach Class. My final destination was 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. It is one of Amtrak’s largest and busiest terminals. Built for the Pennsylvania Railroad, this enormous, eight story Neoclassical-style building features 71 foot high Corinthian columns forming impressive porticoes rendered in Alabama limestone. The main concourse stretches the length of two football fields and has a high coffered ceiling painted gold, red and cream, as well as Art Deco chandeliers, ornamented columns, cathedral-like windows and a Tennessee marble floor. Here’s how it went…
⌚️ Travel time is approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes one way with 5 stops traveling through 3 states (Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania).

Amazing video! I recommend taking more videos as you get closer to the station (Up until it enters the station)
You always need morning coffee after a train ride trusts me.
