Amtrak Silver Service

Pros: The process of getting the ticket what the best part. Fast, easy, and affordable. I almost missed my train running late but staff was very helpful to make sure I made it safely. Tips: For some one who never rode a train before or been years since they ride one, try to arrive at least 30 mins prior to train leaving.
