I wouldn't, I've done both trips one via air and one via the acela and there is hourly service between DCA and LGA and even with dealing with the airport It still was quicker to take a flight depending on the time of day. Amtrak is consistently delayed and late, there always seem to be some kind of construction going on somewhere on the line
