Overall score for trains from Hanford to Emeryville
(Based on 1 ratings and reviews)
4.0
Pros: We experienced a trespasser on the train, an accident as someone was getting off the train in Stockton and then the fire in Martinez. The Conductor kept us informed and had a great sense of humor. He was especially nice to me since I am 81 years old. A long and tiring journey but Amtrak did a good job. Cons: Move faster between stations? Tips: Be patient.
