I'm in Atlanta (well, Marietta, but close enough)

Where could I take a train to and manage to be back soon? Like, I have 2 days off, but I have to be back at work the afternoon of day 3. Where can I go, assuming the train is the point, not the destination.

(However, getting to do some touristy things would be fun, too)

The best city you can get to is probably Charlotte which takes 5 hours to get to on the Cresent line. The hours are awkward with you arriving in Charlotte at 5 am and leaving at 2 am but it does somewhat work.
