Can You Spot These 7 Sights Between DC & NYC?

Ever traveled from Washington, D.C., to New York City on our Northeast Regional? It’s one of our busiest travel segments and offers many unique sights along the way.

Here are some of our top sights along the route. See if you can spot a few the next time your ride.

Or better yet, share your own pics from recent Amtrak trips with us on Instagram. Just remember to tag them with #Amtrak.

Freedom Bell

The Freedom Bell is located outside of Washington, D.C., Union Station and is a replica of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. The plaque in front of it reads, “The Freedom Bell Dedicated to The Spirit of the Bicentennial on Behalf of The Children of Our Nation Given By The American Legion And American Legion Auxiliary 1981.”

Aberdeen Station

Our stations come in all shapes and sizes. Check out the pedestrian tunnel that now serves as an additional waiting area for passengers at our Aberdeen stop in Maryland.

Trenton Bridge

The Lower Trenton Toll Supported Bridge, also known as the Trenton Makes Bridge, crosses over the Delaware River and is a major landmark in Trenton, New Jersey. At night the sign even lights up in red.

New York Penn Station

In the afternoon, train travelers gather at the very famous, very informative Penn Station Departure Board, also known as the Solari Board, waiting for their departing gate announcement.

Arrive Magazine

Every seat comes with a complimentary copy of Arrive magazine, our official magazine for Northeast business & leisure travelers. Arrive is also available via the Arrive magazine iPhone app, so you can enjoy it anywhere.

BWI Airport

In 2005 the BWI Airport officially changed its name to Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, recognizing the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Did you know that we connect travelers to two major airports along the Northeast Corridor? (Know the second airport? Leave your answer in the comment section!)

Northeast Corridor Sunset

There is no shortage of water views from our Northeast Regional train. Here, the sun and the water meet to make the perfect train window photo-op.

We love seeing what our passengers observe from our train windows, so be sure to share all of your photos with us on Instagram by tagging them with #Amtrak.
