Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: The staff was very nice. And the trip was comfortable and had lovely views! Cons: The first trip was a little late for my comfort. I got to where I needed to be at exactly when I needed to be there, but I'll know next time to get there earlier just in case. But you can't slow down time, so I see no reason to mark it down for that. Tips: If you move to another seat bring your seat check with you! I got scolded a bit, but they weren't rude and knew I was a first timer.
