Amtrak Ethan Allen Express

Pros: Beautiful trip. Cons: Departure time from Penn station could be earlier, like 10am or 11 am Some stops were too long. It would be great if this trip is faster. Restroom could be cleaner Food selection could be healthier, less junk food. Tips: Great time traveling on the train, I wish it would be much faster like in Europe or China, but I am grateful for this opportunity to travel from NYC to Burlington VT enjoying quiet relaxed environment Thank you!
