He was loud, swearing, telling the person (a family member of me) to wear earplugs himself, to go to sleep, etc. He demanded to know my relative's name. I quietly got up and went to search for a staff member. When I met the person who had greeted us as we boarded the train, I reported the troubling language. She told me that she had confronted this person, and that he would be removed from the train. I was impressed by the concern for us passengers' safety.More

Everyone on the upper deck was put into one train car. There was no social distancing or ability to spread out. Also there were passengers who knew each other walking around visiting and congregating with no masks. This was highly disappointing, especially when Amtrak claims to be taking all these Covid precautions. More
