Can the ticket be checked just once when you enter and not every-time the staff changes. It would be really helpful

Pros

Felt like Washington DC had too many places to visit within two days. Really moved especially by impressionism art, dinosaurs and history of journalism. The train was basically good with large seat and baggage space. Wifi onboard really helped me to do some work.

Cons

I felt dimmer light will be better, and would like smaller volume of announcement and workers’ call.

Tips

Prepare something to cover eyes and ears. Cars other than quiet car might be sometimes really noisy.
