Last time I took Amtrak was late February 2020, right before the pandemic hit. The Acela to and from NYC. Was talking about COVID with a passenger and we were wondering how bad it would get. I think I actually had COVID from that trip - an awful flu like thing and I was down for the count for a couple of days (no sense of smell either) and I had a flu shot. In any event, it is amazing what has transpired since then - seems like a different world. In any event, in “normal” times I would take it at least a few times a month on the NE corridor, typically the Acela because it’s for work, there is typically an appointment to keep, and I like to minimize nights away from home. I have taken it long distance two times, each time a schedule disaster and won’t do it again. I do want to check out the new Moynihan station. Hope this gives the color you want.
