Aboard the Amtrak Carolinian

Recently I took Amtrak Carolinian between Washington, DC and Raleigh, NC. I love traveling by train. It is relaxing and is a wonderful way to see the country. The Carolinian passes over several gorgeous bodies of water as well as through some lovely countryside. Below are some photos of my journey. They are in order from south to north.
