    This is Amtrak's newest train. Well, the train itself isn't that new. But for the next few hours, we'll be the first riders of the inaugural second train from Alexandria, Va to Roanoke, Va via the Amtrak Northeast Regional.

    I rode Amtrak from Richmond, VA to Roanoke, VA. We had to ride 2 hours to Alexandria, had a 4 hour layover in Alexandria and then another 4 and a half hour ride to Roanoke. People think I am crazy for doing that. I loved it and I am going to do it again.

    • @TheDetourDuo
      @TheDetourDuo  Рік тому

      We get so much work done that we couldn't do in the car or even on a plane. It really is underrated travel. Alexandria is not a bad place to have a layover. Some good restaurants right there by the station. We rode from Norfolk to Boston and loved it

    You'll have to do some train travel when you come up to Canada. I live about 10mins from a train station so I can definitely help you out. The Toronto/ Montreal/ Ottawa loop by train would be amazing!
    If you want to start researching our passenger rail company comparable to Amtrak is called Via Rail.

      That ought to be a pretty quick trip. Wish we'd taken the train up more. How long are you going to be in Alexandria? If you're exploring Old Town let us know what you think of our recommendations from our Alexandria video. We might be making a return trip to Alexandria soon, so if our video is helpful it will help us cater the next video.

      We didn't this time only because the city wanted us to highlight the free buses. Actually, we've never done bikes. We've always opted for scooters. Got to do that next time
