Amtrak Texas Eagle

Pros: Enjoyed the ride, the covienence, the ample leg room, snack bar is a great addition, the power outlets and Wi-Fi. This was a great trip. My only recommendation is better working coordination with track owners. Freight trains are 100% guaranteed to be late, so let’s work to make passenger trains on-time. Great experience—will do it again. Cons: Track coordination—freight does not need to be on-time, because it never is. My uncle worked as a scheduler manager for the RR for 30+ years and he says freight is never on time. Tips: Minimize baggage—makes travel easier and more enjoyable.
