[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="henry6"] You're talking less than $200 or 15% difference less actually.  From a marketing standpoint that is competitive not "WAAAY too expensive."  <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] No.  $700 difference.  $1100 for the Crescent.  $400 for NEC/BWI.  That's WAAAY too large a difference. The Airtran/Southwest flights were $110 each.  Amtrak was $42 and $32.  Hotel was $100.  Flew up on Friday AM.  Arrived Philadelphia just after the Crescent.  Left Philadelphia at 9:30 PM Sunday, about 5 hours after the Crescent.  Arrived in ATL about same time as Crescent. [/quote] If the extra six hours on the ground was for business purposes, you need to factor its cost into the calculation.. If it was for personal purposes, it still has value, although it is implied and may be different than the time for business. In addition, at least in my case, I have never gotten off an overnight train feeling completely rested. For years I would not admit it to my non-rail friends, but I suspect very few people get as good a nights rest on a train as they do in a good hotel bed.
