Amtrak passenger service on track for rail service across Gulf Coast from New Orleans to Orlando

[OriginalGeek]

9. I'm in Orlando too

and my wife and I were thinking about a trip up north a few years back and we wanted to take a train adventure so she called up Amtrak and talked to the lady about different things including prices and amenities and what-not.

Then my wife asked "What about wrecks? I seem to hear about train wrecks fairly often..." and the lady says "Oh we hardly ever have wrecks...we only average one a week...."

!? We flew.


but to be fair, my aunt and uncle, who live in Venice, drove up to Sanford and caught the auto-train that took them and their car up to DC and had a wonderful, wreck-free trip. They drove back. But it was mighty spendy.
