3 . In the first half of the 20th century, weekend escapes in the United States often meant hopping a train to a nearby town, city, or country inn. Here are several new or restored routes that let you ditch your car for a weekend trip.
Route 1 Miami to West Palm Beach, Florida
Florida’s Brightline, the only privately funded inter-city train system in the U.S., restarted nearly hourly services from Miami to West Palm Beach (with a stop in Fort Lauderdale) in late 2021. The electric-and diesel-powered trains can go as fast as 79 miles per hour, meaning the journey from Miami Central station to West Palm takes just 75 minutes. Continuing service north to Orlando launches next year.
Route 2 San Francisco to Truckee, California
The full route of Amtrak’s California Zephyr—revived(恢复) in May after a pandemic (流行病) suspension—takes 51 hours to travel from the Bay Area to Chicago (or vice versa). But if you take the leg just from San Francisco to Truckee, California, a five-hour trip lands you in one of the most historic, scenic towns in the Lake Tahoe area.
Route 3 New York City to Burlington, Vermont
Revived in July 2022 the Ethan Alen Express takes just under eight hours to travel from New York City to Burlington, Vermont. It passes New York State’s Adirondack Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains on route to Burlington, the state capital and one of America’s hippest(时髦的) small cities.
Route 4 Washington, D. C., to Roanoke, Virginia
It’s about a five-hour train trip from Washington, D. C.’s Union Station to Roanoke, Virginia. In July, high demand led Amtrak to add a second daily train to and from the historic Blue Ridge Mountains city. This expanded Route 46, a shared service of Amtrak and the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA), resulted in a 28.9 percent increase in ridership for July over the previous month.
1. Which of the four routes takes the shortest time?| A．Route 1. | B．Route 2. | C．Route 3. | D．Route4. |
| A．It takes the longest time. | B．You can have two options in a day. |

| A．Passengers are growing quickly in both routes. |
