Joe Hohmann posted:I would pay a lot extra to ride in a observation car. Better yet, one with a platform you could sit on, all the way to Florida. An alternative would be a camera mounted on the engine front, with a live feed going to large screen TVs. The only draw-back to that is seeing the freight you are about to plow into.
You can enjoy the benefit of riding in an Amtrak sightseer lounge to Florida from Lorton, VA. Its on the Autotrain.
