Amtrak Crescent

Pros: Viajar en tren siempre fue una aventura que quise experimentar, y espero poder disfrutar en un futuro de una mejor comodidad ya que el costo de el bagon de lujo es demasiado alto por el trayecto. Cons: Deben organizar mejor el ingreso al tren, se aglomeran las personas y esto puede llegar a ser peligroso y ocasiona retrasos en el viaje. Tips: Seguir la guia de los empleados y respetar el turno de abordaje.
