I did the overnight of this a few years ago. From Penn to Back Bay Boston. I was supposed to leave at 2:30 AM train late left at 3. Slept most of the way there. At Providence the train turned to a commuter and was packed. Spent day walking around Boston then took the afternoon train back. If you have the time it’s a good way to go.
Our go to’s are a good book, audiobooks (Libby or Audible), sleep, or download some TH-cam Premium or your favorite streaming service. Or just hang out in the cafeteria cart. Hope that helps 😀
Thank you for the amazing comment Valatina, we really appreciate it 🙌 We would like to curate more Amtrak content too and hope to work it into a future trip somehow 🤞
Hi lad and lassie, my wife and I, with our two just past teens are doing the same trip on the 12th of May( next Month). We are Irish and will be visiting all the sights and experiences - Amtrak a must train trip, thank you.
Hi Sean 👋 We hope you and your family have an amazing time on your trip. Amtrak is truly amazing and we could not get enough of NYC or Boston 🗽 Have fun 👏
"Wait for the track to be announced" and board with the rest of the peons. If you get a red cap they get the track assignment before it is posted and you get boarded BEFORE of the rest of the peons. You can see when they board this could make a huge difference! "Thought about getting off". You can! Amtrak does not charge extra (unlike airlines) to reschedule, so you can get off, go to the station and rebook for the next train and tour that city. Most motels have a shuttle bus so if you stay over in a town you can get them to pick you up and (the next day) bring you back. Of course the Northeast regional has good WiFi but with that many gen-Xers using it I bet it was spotty.
Thank you so much for the amazing comment and for subscribing 🥳 We are so glad to have you along for the many adventures ahead 🧳✈️🌎 Greetings from Los Angeles 👋
Thanks for your question, it is a good one 😀 More or less it means that your seat is not assigned so when you board the train it is first come, first sit if that makes sense. If the train is really full, we found really good luck with the "quiet cart." You can't really go wrong with Amtrak as all of the seating was comfortable in our experience. Hope that helps 🙌
Not the OP but: They got off at South Station and looks like they stayed at DoubleTree by Hilton, 821 Washington St. Boston (4:58 Door says 821 and the elevator says Hilton)
Thank you Daniel, we really appreciate that 🙌 It depends on which airport you are flying into, but all airports have public transportation options that get you there (we used Google Maps for this and it was very helpful). Or you can take a taxi or Uber too, but the risk of a lot of traffic is a definite possibility. Typically you would be looking at an hour or more depending on the time of day. Hope this helps.
Hi Ana 👋 This is a great question, but it depends on so many factors like your dates of travel, how far out you book, the demand for train tickets, etc. We found that we discovered better pricing the further out we looked from our travel dates and we always booked our tickets direct through Amtrak 🎫🚊 We hope this helps 🙌
Such a good question Ignacio. I developed a very bad allergy to dust mites. Terrible thing to be allergic to when you are on the road full time, but fortunately, I was able to find some medicine that helps. It was miserable 🤧

I did it and it was beautiful traveling along the coast. New England area is so pretty. It was also my first time in Boston as well 😊
How do i keep myself entertained going from Philadelphia to Boston?

I just did that journey, and it was very relaxing and enjoyable.
That is amazing to hear. Glad you enjoyed it. I think we could spend endless amounts of time in both New York and Boston 😀
We always get excited to take a train, just love them!
We agree and are excited to travel by train more often in our travels 🚂

What the website can I buy the tickets previously?
Hello Henrique 👋 We used Amtrak.com to book all of our tickets. Hope this helps 😀

We love Amtrak! A novel experience in the USA. 🚊
We loved it too, it is such a great way to travel 🚝
What does the coach option mean while booking a ticket from Amtrak? :)

Planning to go to boston on december.. there is a 2 train station in boston. Which station you get off?
Is your hotel near to train station too?

My son said this trip took too long and didn't like it at all. I go next month so I guess I'll see for myself.
how long was the ride?
Thank you for the question David 🙌 It was about 4 hours, plus or minus 30 minutes depending on some variables. Hope that helps 😃
Hello, loved the video
Is that train station far away from a NYC Airport

Miramos las rutas y compramos boletos en www.amtrak.com. Esperamos que esto ayude 🙌
Thanks for sharing, I guess we missed each other. Don’t forget to stop by Mike’s and get some cannoli’s. It’s located in the North End.
Thank you so much for the recommendation Jason, we always appreciate such tips especially when it comes to food 😊
New York to Boston cost how much
It depends on many factors, but we booked on amtrack.com

How long it takes from ny to Boston?
Hi Ahmad 👋 I think it ranges between 4-5.5 hours 🚊
do you need a covid test to board the train?
Hi Rodolfo 👋 No, we did not need a test, we just had to wear a mask 😷 We hope you have a great experience 🚊
