After disembarking from the Redline subway at South Station. I looked around the station and this picture of some Amtrak train platforms. Being an Amtrak fan, I wanted to get familiar a little bit in the event. The thought of riding some of the eastern Amtrak corridor lines in the future. I went to Amtrak Information desk seeing if I could store my luggage my last day. 2 hours max. So I stored it at the Hotel and made the trip back before the airport

open for business.
