Probably more like three or four days. But still, I take your point.
Well, I usually work 4 days a week

I saw 90ish to 110 hours. All the trains probably leave from Raleigh.

I love your new avatar.
I just love how I'm the start of the train route and the seats are first come, first serve. That works out great for my frugalness.
My first train ride was awful because I didn't ride in the quiet car. I was visiting Sedai and we had power outages, so it added 3 hours to the trip. A woman got on the car that I was riding and talked on her phone for a straight 3-4 hours. She put her luggage on the seats and then argued with the train staff when they asked her to move it.

I will never forget that trip.

Do they have quiet cars on every train? Some don't. The consist of each train can be surprisingly different.

First stop on the line means a short trip, at least. In very comfy seats.
Not every route has it, but the story goes that it was a bottom up invention from a Northeast Corridor train. And since that's the route I am on I have never rode a train without a quiet car.
