How did you like it? We would do it again for sure but the room only. It was more private and we could stretch out and sleep some.

Its very cool and easy. Bikes rode well and we shaved 2 days off our trip so we could spend more time exploring the NE area.

Thought about doing this trip in the spring of '23 but I'm sure the carrying of personal "hardware" and I refuse to travel unprotected.

I would love for a west-east train. Would save days off a cross country trip.

Great video! Looking forward to part#2. Looks like a great trip with friends. All couples too, huh? I can't get my wife to ride more than an hour or 2. When she retires I'll harass her more for a long trip.
Couple questions if you don't mind. I was planning on the Lorton to Sanford train this past September. Never happened but I will probably do it next September. Thanks for the motorcycles left lane tip . Getting off the train. Are bikes first, last or just whenever the line gets to them? Arrive 2 hours before train leaves? It may be somewhat cheating but I don't care. My back will thank me.
