It is obviously news in Texas that a TX professional sports team would take NEC on Amtrak to travel from Philly to NYC. But the teams in DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, and to a lesser extent Boston, frequently take Amtrak to travel to games in the other cities on the NEC. Amtrak has major capacity limits between NYC and Boston in they have a hard limit in the number of trains they can run through eastern CT imposed by the US Coast Guard (due to the 5 drawbridges on the Shore Line route), so they can not readily add special trains from Boston to NYC. But they can add or lease entire cars on scheduled trains, so some of the teams going between NYC and Boston probably do that.

Interesting that one of the Dallas Maverick players has never been on a train in his life.
