Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: It was the very best way for us to travel at this stage of our lives. The train was on time...Yeah! The trip was short and easy...Yeah! We had a chance to sit in a quiet car...double Yeah...Yeah! We didn't have to wait long in a line or search long for our seats. Really do you want two 70 yr olds to do an ad...we're available!!!! Cons: Some more sanitizing stations perhaps. A piece of paper to be placed behind your head. A sketch to show where the cafe car is located in relation to my trip car. Tips: Don't wait to see your train arrival . If it is on time then be out by the track so you can enter when allowed and don't have to hover in a line waiting.
