How would you react if your college DD scolded you publicly because you asked her to hang out one night?

"Soiling the nest" is a made up term that makes parents excuse rude behavior by their kids.

I call my kids out every single time they are rude to me (they are now 17 and 21 and the times are few and far between at this point). They are not perfect, but they are also not ungrateful.

Soiling the nest is how they act before the leave for college. That doesn't describe this situation.

Call out your daughter for her rudeness. She needs to use money she earned for fun stuff.

You flew across the country for to see an event on a Friday then fly back on a Saturday? And instead of watching her last sporting event and then taking her out to dinner with a teammate or hanging out with her you are making her visit an elderly uncle via a train ride?

So instead of taking her out to eat and then spending time alone with her or going shopping to see if she needs groceries, clothes, etc. or even just hanging out relaxing in a hotel room where she has her own bathroom and watching a movie, you are making her go on a train ride?

Yeah, most college kids are going to be annoyed. By this time of the year anyone doing a college sport in season has got to be exhausted.

OP you are really being unreasonable.
