The northeast corridor (Boston to DC) is very popular and profitable for Amtrak. They have routes connecting major cities in the rest of the country but they're slow, expensive and unreliable. They're pretty much only ridden by train enthusiasts, people who are very afraid of flying, or banned from flying.
- sokoloff 5y agoMy experiences on Amtrak Boston to NYC (and previously BOS to BWI station) are that it’s slow, expensive, and unreliable in the NE corridor as well. I’m sure it’s profitable for Amtrak, but I’d estimate I arrive within 15 minutes of the published timetable less than half the time.
