Amtrak

Amtrak makes getting to your destination an enjoyable, memorable part of the trip. Aboard Amtrak, you've got the luxury of time to start enjoying your destination before you even get there. You're not only headed for fun - you're surrounded by it!

Crescent

New York City, NY - Atlanta, GA - New Orleans, LA

The Crescent takes you from the Big Apple to the Big Easy. As the vibrant cityscapes of the Northeast fade into the Blue Ridge foothills, pine forests, red clay and kudzu, sprawling farms, and sleepy towns signal your entry into the deep South. Trees drip with spanish moss as you travel through the bayou country of Louisiana. During the summer, National Park Service guides will teach you about Civil War and civil rights history as you travel from Atlanta to New Orleans. Meanwhile, our chef prepares delightful regional dishes for you. Once in New Orleans, you'll have lots to do. Take a streetcar tour from the French Quarter to Audubon or visit the never-ending party of Bourbon Street.

Virginia stations served: Alexandria, Manassas, Culpeper, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Danville with daily service To find out more about this train service, fares and schedule, click here.

Regional

Boston, MA - Washington, DC - Newport News, VA

Whether you're headed for work, school or fun, Regional means a faster, more convenient, more enjoyable - and often more affordable - way to get where you're going in the Northeast.

Regional trains have been redesigned to make your on-board experience the best ever. You'll find comfortable seating with electrical outlets for your laptop computer and extra roomy storage space for your luggage. In Business class, you'll have conference tables and phones for added convenience. A bistro-style Cafe car offers appetizing food. Come aboard Regional and treat yourself to a new level of service.

Virginia stations served: Alexandria, Franconia, Springfield, Woodbridge, Quantico, Fredericksburg, Ashland, Richmond, Williamsburg, Newport News with multiple departures daily. To find out more about this train service, fares and schedule, click here.

Silver Service/Palmetto

New York, NY - Savannah, GA - Tampa, FL or Miami, FL

Silver Service train routes travel between the big cities of the Northeast and the tropical playgrounds of Florida, passing through historic Virginia, the pine forests of the Carolinas and the elegance of old Savannah. It's an easygoing ride, with lots of lively company and friendly service. The Palmetto offers Business Class Service with even more amenities for an additional charge.

Virginia stations served: Alexandria, Richmond, Petersburg with daily service. To find out more about this train service, fares and schedule, click here.

Carolinian and Piedmont

Charlotte, NC or Raleigh, NC - New York, NY

Amtrak invites you to ride in Southern comfort all the way to New York City. Both the Piedmont and the Carolinian will take you back and forth between the Queen City of Charlotte and the state capital of Raliegh. If you're headed for Washington, DC or New York City, the Carolinian will get you there relaxed and ready for action. For a small extra fee, Carolinian's Business class will pamper you with more special features. You may be on your way to the big city, but aboard Amtrak you get friendly, down home, country hospitality!

The Carolinian and Piedmont are financed and operated in partnership with the State of North Carolina.
