    First Time Train Traveler

    My girlfriend and I are flying to Reno in mid-May, and I came up with the idea of taking a train all the way back to Newport News, VA in early June. It most likely will end up more expensive, but as college-aged adults (19 and 18), I could not pass up this opportunity to travel cross-country...
