Union Station is one of the most beautiful train stations I have seen on all my travels. I enjoyed how they had redeveloped it into something beyond just a train depot. As I recall, my family ate a very good meal there whilst we were in DC. I enjoyed it very much.
And poppinjay is right--Amtrak really only sells tickets for destination-destination travel. However, they do sell rail passes of varying kinds, depending on how much travel you're doing. If you're not doing much, or only going to one or two destinations over a short period of time, the destination-destination ticket is really the only option.
