Hi All I just got done publishing an article about a trip I took from Brunswick, ME to Miami on the Downeaster, an Acela, the Silver Meteor and Brightline. Unfortunately there is still no travel from here (borders are closed) so it's a report on a trip from pre-COVID, but maybe of interest. https://trainreview.com/article/exploring-the-east-coast-maine-to-miami-by-train I hope everyone is staying safe and well!
Thank you for a most pleasurable article. I also have ridden the Northeast Corridor route you describe. However south of Washington, my route for the past 30+ years has been the Crescent to New Orleans. By the way, I agree with your perception of Flexible Dining. Fortunately, the majority of my trips included kitchen prepared meals in a diner environment.
