My boyfriend and I are planning a vacation to NYC next October. I'm undecided about which route to take. Amtrak has suggested three:
1) Lake Shore Limited
2) Cardinal
3) Capitol Limited --> Pennsylvanian
I'm not entirely jazzed about the third option since it involves a transfer, so I'm wondering which of the first two is better, more scenic, etc. I don't mind that one is longer than the other, as it's all about the scenery and experience for me. I'm leaning toward the Cardinal since it goes through several major cities and the Appalachians.
I'm happy to see both routes use Viewliners. I've never been in a Viewliner roomette, and I love that it has a window for both bunks.
