Amtrak7 Posted June 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2010 By ATL I assume you are referring to Atlanta, GA. There is direct daily train service, the Crescent, to New York. Schedule Note that the Atlanta Amtrak station is not accessible by MARTA rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted June 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 18, 2010 Make sure to book early. - A REALLY early. 11 months is the furthest out you can book. The prices rise fast, especially if you want a bedroom. There are only 2 bedrooms per car. Not sure if extra cars are added at ATL to/from NYP. Maybe, since ATL is the busiest station served only by one daily roundtrip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregorygrice Posted June 18, 2010 Share #5 Posted June 18, 2010 Yeah and its one heck of a ride! I was gonna do this when I lived in GA and we were moving back to NY, but it said the trip would be like 2 days! So I just stayed with my mom, step dad., and lil bro and took the airplane. (The airplane won that time:mad: ) But Amtrak is comfortable so he should be fine. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted June 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 20, 2010 I would sit in a comfy amfleet seat for 28 hours before i'd sit in a cramped airplane seat for 8 hours. Also, on amtrak you can take 2 pieces of big luggage, plus carry on, bikes, etc, try fitting a bike on a plane. Also, if something goes horribly wrong, you aren't 7 miles in the air. :cool: - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you're in a rush, I don't think you would have the patience to deal with 28 hours. Also, there are no extensive security checks like the ones you see in the airports. I don't recall anyone taking off their shoes and belts at a train station just to get past a security checkpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
