You probably saw my response from last summer when my DH and DS took Amtrak from Manassas to Tuscaloosa and back. They enjoyed it (although it did get long). You don’t get a whole lot of sleep sitting up. The real problem was the fact that it was not even close to being on time. Going down, it left Manassas pretty much on time but arrived 2 hours late. Coming home, they were about 2.5 hours late - due to freight trains having the right of way. I could keep track of things with an Amtrak app. We only live about 30 minutes from Manassas, so it wasn’t a big deal. If you were having to drive to meet him, it might be trickier. I also don’t know how crowded it is during the holidays. My DS has flown home this year (T’giving, Winter Break and Spring break).
