Online Travel Review reports that Eliot Spitzer’s prostitute wasn’t so high-end after all. He paid for her travel… on Amtrak Regional service, not the Acela.

The indictment notes that the woman took the 5:39pm train which, you’ll note, is Amtrak’s slow regional service, rather than the faster, more comfortable Acela…the 5:39 regional train arrived 15 minutes AFTER the 6pm Acela train. He did manage to save $220 on this part of the transaction…

Would have been a better story if he’d signed up for an Amtrak Mastercard and redeemed the signup bonus for her tickets.
