4.0
Pros: I enjoy the train ride. this was my 1st time taking the train. I would take the train again if I take another trip. it was relaxing. Cons: Because this was my 1st train ride I don't really have anything to compare it with, this time. So I have no complaints. Tips: If you want a relaxing trip or would like to have time to think, I "think" taking the train is the way to go. You have "business class" seating so that might be an option if you want quiet.
