Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: The train arrived early and allowed fir 20 minutes of loading so people were not crammed together getting on. Plugs for phone chargers were available at each seat. Cons: Vegan options in the snack bar. The did have hummus and veggies but everything else had cheese on or in it. The bathroom smelled horrible! Tips: Bring snacks. Check your bags if you are going far.
