Pros: This was my first experience taking a train. A little secret I was very excited. I couldn’t believe how clean ,spacious, and friendly the staff was. I am definitely taking a train when I visit family again. 😃. Cons: The length of travel time for sure. Because it was a train I thought for sure it would be quicker. But at least I didn’t have to drive and ticket prices were reasonable. Tips: Enjoy the scenery. Bring something to do and possibly something to eat. Sit back and relax!!!
