Submission statement: Due to a budget stalemate in Congress, the author opted for a 14.5-hour train ride from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., instead of flying. The journey offered a unique perspective on the impact of politics on daily life and transportation choices. The author observed the diverse range of passengers and reflected on the historical significance of rail travel in the United States.
My wife and I have used this train several times the last two years as her father was entering hospice in Atlanta from Charlottesville, VA. We’ve mostly used the roomette over full room or the coach seats. It really is a more relaxing way to travel — if you aren’t in too much a hurry.
