Riding Virginia Railway Express into Washington, D.C. is an easy way to enjoy the fireworks on the National Mall.
We rode the Firecracker Express two years ago in and out of the city for the annual fireworks show.
The ride was mostly uneventful. Some passengers on the trip home apparently had a little too much fun during the Independence Day party, so we had to watch our step to avoid a small mess on the floor.
