Amtrak Cascades

Pros: I love to ride trains. Cons: More relevant, helpful information about location of restrooms and bistro car was provided by the Portland to Oregon City conductor than by Seattle to Portland conductor. I recommend consistency regarding pertinent travel information. Tips: Pay attention to gate and track numbers, which can change at last minute.
