Amtrak Texas Eagle

Pros: Very happy no problems. Cons: On my return trip back from El Paso to alpine, I spend most of my time in the viewing car, it was four people doing a lot of drinking loud voices, wasn't happy with this stuff not talking to them about the drinking, I was told but no personal drink was to be consumed on the train,? It wasn't just one drink it was many drinks and the staff passed this situation many times not a word was said, otherwise it was a very pleasant journey, hope to be traveling with you again on the 5th of January, alpine to San Antonio I will be returning to the UK that's all I have to say. Tips: If you have a no personal drinking rule make it work.

The Amtrak train station in El Paso was designed by Daniel Burnham, the architect of the Washington D.C. Union Station. The red-bricked building is easy to spot, though the large, green-roofed bell tower makes the building look more like a church than a train station. Inside, the church-style continues with high ceilings, arched windows, mosaic tiles, and pew-style seating. The station has plenty of parking for your car. Nearby is a small shopping center where you can get a coffee shop, candy shop, and multiple body-health stores.
