Amtrak Adventure - Day 3 - Richmond, Virginia

Our third day of the trip started with a two hour train journey from Washington DC to Richmond, Virginia. Union Station in Washington is akin to an airport terminal with departure gates, shops and restaurants so it was somewhat of a surprise to step off the train in Richmond onto the ground and have to walk across the second track to get to a station building which offered only a waiting area, a ticket office and a small food counter.
