Philadelphia-Harrisburg is really an extension of the NE Corridor. You're right they are used by business people, including some state legislators. Albany-New York probably gets some business people too. Not sure about Springfield-New Haven.

This is possible but limited compared to the NE Corridor. The last time I rode it I saw two men in my coach who appeared to be on business. Everyone else looked like casual travelers. It was a weekday and the train was not very full. Pre Covid NE Corridor trains were packed with business...

Last time I took the Amtrak bus the driver boarded the bus, left and closed the door with AC off. He disappeared for over half an hour leaving us in the warm bus, unable to get out. What does Uber charge to get to SF? I don't want to repeat the bus experience.

I suspect you're right.

Why do you call it a 'mystery burger'. I remember the hamburger as the best thing on the menu. Isn't it 100% beef?

Not a second class citizen - just a second ('coach') class passenger.

This was in the 1930s or 1940s? A lot has changed since then.
