The National Railway Historical Society, Washington DC Chapter, Incorporated (DCNRHS) presents The Washington Special Saturday, October 4, 2014  Dover Harbor will depart from Norfolk’s Harbor Park Amtrak Station early on Saturday, October 4, 2014, with Amtrak’s Regional train #88, stopping at Petersburg and Richmond Staples Mill on the way north. Relax in comfortable Pullman armchairs while the train glides through the colorful scenery of Virginia’s Tidewater region. White jacketed attendants will serve you breakfast en route to a morning arrival in Alexandria and Washington. At Alexandria, you’ll have time to walk the same streets that George Washington and Robert E. Lee strode on a walking tour of the city’s historic Old Town; many historic sites are an easy walk (or free trolley ride) from the Amtrak train station. Or continue to Washington’s beautifully restored Union Station in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, where you’ll have time to stroll around Capitol Hill, walk the National Mall, tour the Smithsonian Museums, or perhaps take a tour of some of the city’s many memorials and sights. Our trip Destination Guide will give you more information on what to do while in Alexandria or Washington. On Saturday evening, Amtrak’s Regional train #71 will take you southward along Potomac River tributaries and through historic Virginia Tidewater towns. Sip a cocktail and savor a delicious supper served at white linen clothed tables while en route. Dover Harbor will return you to Richmond or Petersburg at mid-evening, and Norfolk at the last of the day.
