Beginning March 4, 2024, NEC coach seating will be reconfigured to only half facing direction of travel; half in reverse. Amtrak says this is to make turn around quicker and easier, but may not be well received by those who enjoy sitting at the window and watching the scenery in the direction of travel. Yes, the train is the best way to go between BOS / NYP / WAS. Just wish they would improve service rather than taking away from it. Updated rolling stock would also be well received.
I don't think if the Amtrak cars have a rear window as they are connected. Maybe, one can get such a view only in the last car as there's nothing behind it. But I'm not sure.
Where accepted, two checked bags (75 linear inch, 50 lb.) per passenger. See all baggage guidelines and if your station accepts checked baggage. As per the Amtrak website, on this route checked baggage service is available at NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, DC.
The fare can go as low as $20. I got this fare for an early morning train, by booking it 1 month in advance. And, the earliest trains to DC start from 4:20 AM. I've talked about this in the video at 00:55

Agree, totally makes sense to take the train for this route

We need to build more rail!
Could you have been able to look out the rear window if you'd wanted to?

Washington Union not Grand Central is America's greatest train station. I don't care what anyone else thinks!!!
grand central is NOT a station… it IS a terminal
