Amtraksonville - An entirely impractical journey

I grew up in Scotland and did not learn to drive until I moved to the USA. Going to the beach involved short train journeys, and on Memorial Day weekend 2026 I decided I wanted to relive my childhood experience. This is the best approximation I could put together. I took Amtrak from Atlanta to Jacksonville, and forced myself to use public transit for all portions of the journey - a highly impractical route that takes 60 times longer than just flying would be. Good thing I like trains. 00:00 Introduction and History 03:17 MARTA 05:44 Amtrak - The Crescent 08:39 Greensboro, NC 13:29 Amtrak - Piedmont 16:24 Amtrak - Floridian 18:03 JRTA 21:54 Jacksonville Beach, FL 26:27 Conclusion
