Amtrak Silver Meteor - Take a Tour

[Ocklawaha]

One time I saw how much it would cost to go cross country via amtrak.  It was around the same as a cheap plane ticket.  At this point I thought to myself "what's the point?"

Wow man, that was really YOUR LOSS. The train is SO MUCH more comfortable then the 13 inch seat on an airplane... Nothing like 6' of leg room, and a traveling restaurant and pub/club or if your so inclined a rolling bedroom.

All that is left of what was once train service in Jacksonville, is two daily to New York and two daily to Tampa and Miami. But if one is going to Richmond, Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Charleston, Raleigh etc... There is nothing like boarding the train here at dinner time, eating a fine meal then checking into your own room or nestle in your cosy seat. You can travel all night sound asleep until breakfast, where one can eat and step off refreshed.
