Amtrak has definitely taken a bite out of the WAS-NYC and NYC-BOS markets - moreso the WAS-NYC market. Acela is 3 hours gate to gate from Union Station to Penn Station and puts you downtown on both ends. WAS-BOS on Acela is 7 hours. The difference in time makes train travel unappealing when "shuttle" is 90 minutes.
