Its hard to beat the west coast but, maybe between Phili and Boston on the Acella, high speed travel on the rail close to the ground is great. But I agree with others the Daylight was the best trip.

When SP ran the train and I was a teen, I can remember paying the $5.00 for a turkey sandwich in the diner, and being surprised by the free ice cream, the sun setting on the coast during the south bound trip, and the smell of the freshly plowed field in the Salinas valley.

It has changed with Amtrak, but the route is still the best..........even today I ride a few times a year when my schedule allows.
