If you follow the tracks one mile north (so the opposite direction the train is going), you can find a little service facility and wye where they turn the trains around. The cross streets are St. Julian Street and Maltby Avenue, in Norfolk.
I live in Newport News. I plan to go up to Ny. Is it better to depart from norfolk, Newport News or Williamsburg Amtrak station? What if I want better seat selections??
If you're doing this trip both ways then I'd personally sit on the left side both ways, as you'll not only see all the scenery on both sides of the route but also any passing trains as well.
My mom lives in Portsmouth VA i wish i could connect with the Norfolk train from Charlotte NC i get off at Richmond-Staple Mills rd to connect to the Newport News train then bus to Norfolk going there but can take the Norfolk train to Richmond then Charlotte coming back
Taking that same route, currently in Alexandra stop right now. Amtrak is always a relaxing ride.
Question trying to go for dc to Virginia beach there is one transfer you get off and than take a bus the rest of the way?

Hey ! Great video ; up and down the Northeast Corridor. From Boston to Norfolk, VA
I have taken this trip many times also from Newport News to Washington ,though going through Richmond is very slow!!!!
Oh you did do the opposite side where the Petersburg Automobile Distribution is. Awesome video
Whenever I ride Amtrak from Richmond to DC, I always get the 94 to DC and the 80 Carolinian back to Richmond
Awesome video I love trains
How about a round trip from Washington to Roanoke?
Already done, I'm in the process of editing it!
Well done! 👏🏻
Has the project been shelved by any chance?
That was GREAT!!!!!
Just found your channel!
Definitely subscribing since it’s Amtrak. Rock on!
Cool ride!
Nice video! By the way you actually passed my neighborhood at 45:28 while you were on that train, just thought you'd like to know that
man i wish i could take trains like you can you do the atlantic city line next?
Hopefully during the summer I can. I’ve wanted to do it for a while but the timetable is really weird, making it hard to do a round trip.
@@captainace6083 oh hmmm
Trains are the best way to see this country. was the cafe car open, or was it restricted?

There is a straight shot from Newport News to NYC
I'm gonna be riding this next year.
Have you done the ride from Roanoke to dc
I plan to take this trip next year. Do you recommend the left side over the right side for great views?

@@captainace6083 Thank you!
Why does the train move so slowly for the first 15-20 minutes??
Residential areas.

Hi there go North to South
Man you’re all over the place lol
Can’t pass on good deals during COVID-19 season!
Great rail video, enjoyed it very much. Did you win what sounded like a losing battle with the snack bag at about 3:25?
Is Quantico closed off to civillians?

Why don't Amtraks honk their horns at private railroad crossings on the NS Norfolk District?
