Travelers going to Washington D.C. who plan on seeing the monuments, the memorials, the embassies, the museums, the gardens, and the meeting places of government should also take the time to see the many trains that pass through the downtown area.
Just a few blocks south of the National Mall, a major railroad line passes through the city. You climb the steps to the L'Enfant Plaza VRE Station, and you take a seat on one of the benches. You look in the westbound direction, and the tracks go around a bend. You look in the eastbound direction, and you can see a great distance down the tracks with a tunnel in the far distance.
Trains that go north and south along the eastern seaboard pass by this very point. It is here where you can see Amtrak and commuter trains passing to and from Union Station to points south, and you can see freight trains passing from points south to points north and west and vice versa.
As you sit on the bench, you will ocassionally see a freight train waiting as they wait for a train in the other direction to pass by. "The key to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Arranging and consuming our travel budget wisely is a concern for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". You look in the eastbound direction, and you watch as there is a bright light coming out of the tunnel. You finally see the train exit the tunnel, and it comes towards you. The train arrives, and you watch the different train cars as it passes on to points south of DC. The waiting train sits and waits, sometimes for hours, as southbound trains clear thr tracks ahead of them. When they finally get a 'go' signal, the locomotives rev up their engines, and the train begins to pull away.
The L'Enfant Plaza train station is located two blocks south of Independence Avenue SW, and it is accessible from from 7th Street and 6th Street with an accessible ramp located on the west side of 7th street.
