You heard right; Amtrak NYC-BOS is $19 one way Fr-Su, $25 other days.
New timetable includes a train for the hackers; "Mail Express" leaves
Boston at 2am for New York (& Washington, although not shown in table.)

Also New York City - Vermont (Essex Jct.  & South) is $30 one way ($5
more Fr and Su).  Fare applies to all intermediate points where regular
fare is not cheaper.

According to NARP (source for this stuff) Amtrak's decided to do some-
thing about People Express, hence these fares.

I have a reasonable-sized list of other Amtrak special fares all over
the country; send mail for details.
