    Newport News to Boston

    Thanks, Acela ! I am really looking forward to this train trip. I wanted to take the Twilight Shoreliner many years ago to visit colleges in Boston, but we never got the chance. Excited for this trip no matter what type of seat we have!

    Newport News to Boston

    Hi, just changed to train 66 leaving Newport News at 5:20 instead of 94. All of a sudden prices were the same again! I am looking forward to BC and the 2x1 faux leather seats! Now to wait for BC price to go down a bit for return trip!
