Pros: The overall ride and cost of the trip. Cons: Maybe better manage the heat on the train car. Sometimes it was too hot and then other times too cold. If possible, offer earplugs so that you don't have to hear passengers on their cellphones or snoring loudly. Tips: Nothing. The two male African-American conductors were a delight to ride with. They kept us informed about any delays, the food cart and so on.
