I'm planning a trip to Atlanta in early April and am wondering the best way to do it. I have about 50K AGR points so I should be able to get one way free, but I'm curious about routes. As I understand it, ATL is serviced by the Crescent, which runs from NY to NOLA. This means that, in theory, I could connect via either the Cap or the CONO. Amtrak's site is only showing me the Cap-->Crescent as a single bookable trip.
I'm fine with this if it's the best way to go, but is there any advantage to riding the CONO and connecting in New Orleans instead of DC? Scenery, rolling stock, stations, sleeper pricing, etc?
