It shouldn't take 6.5 hours to get from Durham to DC, either. According to the Economist (an article I linked in one of the earlier posts), DC to Durham is as far as London to Paris, which you can do in 2 hours. And that map looks like they have it at about 2 hours.
If only we could have rational transportation policy in this country :(
I've looked into Amtrak from here to Atlanta, and unless I want to catch a train at midnight in Greensboro and arrive in ATL at 8 am, with a reverse journey at a similarly stupid time point, I'm out of luck. I can *drive* to Atlanta in under 7 hours (unless traffic really sucks).
