Yes I’m doing it now — I ended up taking Amtrack because driving logistically made no sense with tolls, parking, and inability to work... plus random traffic issues. Amtrack is great but it is a PITA to get there, long enough to be frustrating on days you just want to be home. The WIFI aspect is a huge help, you can get a lot done on your way to and from. Prices are also frustrating, I wish I could book out a month and pay $18 each way, but I usually only know my work schedule and meetings 2 weeks out so I end up paying $42 one way. Adds up quickly
