“What is it with politicians and choo choos?”
They must have had a toy train set when they were little.
Trains are nice, but buses make more economic sense for mass transportation.
Sunshine Travel offers a $15 bus fare from New York City to Boston:

Amtrak service between New York City and Boston costs $64.
Way more than that. My gf takes the train to Boston (Because it’s cheaper than parking a car there once you get there) but it’s over $120 .
I refuse to do it. I’ll park in Framingham and take the T in if I have to. Amtrak is a ridiculous form of transportation. The seating is like the plastic seats provided while waiting for your McDonald’s cheezburger, only it’s a 6 hour wait.
