Pros: The trip was super easy and comfortable, I was able to go and visit my mom while getting some school work done along the way! Cons: The wifi was a bit weak and would often cut out as I was doing my work, but that’s to be expected riding in rural areas so i don’t think much could be done either way! Tips: Bring snacks if you’re picky! The food on the train is good but i found i wanted a little more selection.
