Why Train Travel Is a Gamer's First Choice
Why Train Travel Is a Gamer's First Choice
No Need to Hit Pause When You Ride With Amtrak
Remember the blissful rush of playing your Nintendo Switch in the backseat of the car, racing to snag one last powerup before the battery ran out, not a care in the world as someone else took care of the driving? There's good news: the technological wizards at Amtrak have created a sort of time machine that simulates this experience — but now there's no parental figure threatening to turn the car around and take away your gaming device.
With plenty of power outlets for your gaming devices, complimentary WiFi, loads of elbow space between you and your sticky-fingered siblings, and overhead storage you can access any time, there's no better way to keep the gaming lights on than train travel.
Go ahead and bring that extra CRT for the Smash Melee tournament or an entire dual screen monitor setup — you would be far from the first.

The Perks of Being a Gamer on Amtrak
Stay Connected with WiFi & Power
Your gaming devices can stay charged from the moment you take your seat, and our complimentary WiFi keeps Reddit handy to search for tips on beating that tricky boss monster.
Overheard Storage, Accessible Any Time
Whether you're traveling with an entire computer rig or a hit box, you don't have to leave your precious cargo's safety to chance; there's plenty of room just overhead.
Plenty of Elbow Room to Spare
The average Amtrak coach seat offers 6 inches more for elbow room than an airplane equivalent — you don't have to sacrifice comfort to maintain your virtual farm/criminal empire.
Arrive Downtown, Not Out of Town
Going to that conference center in the heart of the city? Amtrak can drop you off within short walking distance. Boston's South Station, for instance, is just a 13-minute walk to PAX East.
