Amtrak Crescent

Pros: Amtrak was on time didn't have to wait at Gastonia NC station long it is dark and that station. It needs to be open at 3 am so customers would feel safe at that North Carolina station. Cons: Please open the Gastonia North Carolina atation. Customers ride sometimes do get there and it's scary out there if you're alone. Tips: Best way to travel for me. Everyone is respectful and Amtrak don't play about disrespectful customers they put OUT.
