This is Part 3 of my "Train Odyssey 3", and here I take the AMTRAK "Silver Service" train # 91 from Philadelphia's 30th Street Station as far as Petersburg, Virginia (the train ultimately goes to Miami).

In between Part 2 and Part 3, I visited the historic district of Philadelphia, the Eastern State Penitentiary, and some vintage boats docked on the Delaware River. I am preparing videos of these as well.

This Part 3 may be the 'least' of all my train videos, because I was stuck in an aisle seat in a coach car, quite a departure from my usual first class sleeper car based videos....still, I feel that I needed to present this to conclude the trip, as well as to illustrate the differences between first class and coach travel on AMTRAK trains. My conclusion..... there was nothing unpleasant about this trip, as I was only on the train for several hours during daylight, but I would NOT wish to travel this way overnight when I need to sleep, and it is pretty useless for trying to do things like observe scenery, take videos, monitor train details using a scanner, etc. And of coarse there is no privacy.
