minus-squarePyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up26·1 年前That’s still almost 10hrs train ride one way. Assuming an express train from NYC to Portland.
minus-squaremaria [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up44·1 年前That’s a perfectly reasonable time for that distance.

minus-squarePlum@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 年前 Assuming they get on the train in Portland, OR and travel to Albany, NY, it’ll take them 77 hours in slightly-more-legroom than normal seats.
minus-squareTotallynotJessica@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 年前Would legit be cheaper to fly.
minus-squareThotDragon@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·1 年前It’s not cheaper to fly. I’ve looked at similar trips for work a couple times now and the cheapest flights are always about $400 and you get a massive layover in chicago.
minus-squareTotallynotJessica@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Maybe I just got a special offer because I’m not in Portland, but the price was comparable, if not cheaper. Edit: The prices are even lower on the dates of the train ticket.

minus-squaregalanthus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 年前Interesting, SD(whatever that is) is the only state without rail. What are they doing there?
