    Video Transcript

    "Hi everyone. I'm Russ Handler. And you know, one of the most exciting trips I've ever taken via train, is from New York City to Washington D.C. There's actually two ways you could do it. Did you know that one will get you there in about three hours, one about four or just a little over? So, there's two routes. There's the Acela Express, a three hour trip. Or there's the Regional which will take you about three to four hours. Either way you get to go through industrial port, portions of Philadelphia. Lots of fun. You get to go over the big river crossing where the Delaware River. And it's a lot of fun. First thing I recommend is to go to the website for Amtrak. There you could choose your line that you want to choose. You could buy your ticket. And then when you get to the station, simply have your reservation code available and your ticket can be printed then. Once on the train, relax. I do suggest that you may, might want to consider upgrading to business class so that you have a little more leg room. Bring some snacks with you on the train as well. You could even choose your seating options on the website. That's a good thing. Try to get a good car and near a window would be great as well. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
