p1ratew3nch asked:

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)

amtrak-official answered:

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.

So, what's up with the Atlanta to New Orleans section?

It takes 12 hours and I decided that was too long
