This article is about people switching over to Amtrack trains rather than taking air flights. As fuel and airplane ticket prices begin to rise, more and more people are taking trains for travel. Back in 2000, only 33% of people took Amtrack trains from New York to Washington. Now about 75% of people take Amtrack trains for many reasons. Taking the Amtrack trains are less troublesome then booking flights. You avoid the waiting process, airport security. You also avoid delayed flights as it is a common problem. 90% of all Amtrack trains arrive on time.
