When traveling from Boston MA to Carson City Nevada, does the train make stops at all?
How many hours does it take?

By car, Carson City is about 35 miles or 45 minutes from Downtown Reno. You will need to rent a car, or cabs will gladly make that trip.You can not take a train directly to Carson City. The nearest you can get is Reno.
No offense, but is this a serious question?When traveling from Boston MA to Carson City Nevada, does the train make stops at all?How many hours does it take?
It happens from time to time. People are SO used to flying which is terminal to terminal with no stopovers-- maybe ONE layover, if that.No offense, but is this a serious question?When traveling from Boston MA to Carson City Nevada, does the train make stops at all?How many hours does it take?
Does the airport at Carson City even handle commercial traffic? I would think that, given its proximity to Reno-Tahoe, it would not.It happens from time to time.

It seems whether you're flying or going by rail, the nearest you'll get to Carson City using public transportation is Reno. I don't even think Greyhound serves Carson City.No clue.Does the airport at Carson City even handle commercial traffic? I would think that, given its proximity to Reno-Tahoe, it would not.
But again, we live in an airport airborne culture-- we're used to point A to point B without any stops because people like it that way-- most people anyway. I'm sure the OP is just a confused first timer who is both excited and a tad worried about how his/her first trip will turn out.
Many people think that the area from Washington to Boston is all one big area with loads of people. However, the route from just north of NHV to just south of PVD travels thru mostly wooded areas! In fact (and it's just my opinion), I consider the portion from OSB to WLY to be one of the most scenic routes in the country! (It goes within sight of the Long Island Sound - sometimes within feet!)We live in a huge vast large country. There is life between NYC and LA. Human life,even!! And it all has to be served, thus ground transportation.
I think it's more that the technologies have different limitations.Do keep in mind that trains and buses serve a quite different purpose than planes.It just developed that way.
The airline industry is much newer than the rails. Guess they quickly figured out that it did not make sense to have an airport at every little town, the whole country would be nothing but airport runways--no farms, no houses, nothing But you can have train stations and bus stations in many more places.
Someone familiar with Greyhound might also be interested in knowing that since Amtrak's long distance trains have cafe and dining cars and restrooms on the train, there's no need for the food stops like on a typical bus.I am wondering if the question was ment to find out if the train stoped in different city's giving one time to explore the city where you are.
Greyhound does not go to Carson City. Closest it gets is Reno. Carson City airport is general aviation only. Nearest commercial airport is...Reno.It seems whether you're flying or going by rail, the nearest you'll get to Carson City using public transportation is Reno.

Sounds like somebody is going to have to take a cab--Greyhound does not go to Carson City. Closest it gets is Reno. Carson City airport is general aviation only.

Or rent a car. When I took a train to Reno a few years ago, and had to go to Carson City, the Hertz rental counter was at one of the downtown hotels. When that was closed (after hours), the counter was at the airport. A cab to the airport was (IIRC at that time) $10. That's much cheaper than a cab 30-40 miles - and you may need a car in Carson City anyway.Sounds like somebody is going to have to take a cab--Greyhound does not go to Carson City.

Yeah-- either way. You can't go to Carson City via Amtrak... and frankly, I won't chalk this one up as a "service gap" .Or rent a car.

You may have left it on the train! I'll take the next train and look for it for you!Now where did I put my pen?
I wholeheartly agree with your opinion, the_traveler. I traveled from BOS to NYP yesterday and enjoyed the scenery. The train even stopped in Kingston, RI!!Many people think that the area from Washington to Boston is all one big area with loads of people.
