Amtrak Cardinal

Pros: I’ve never been on a train before!! It was so cool and a great adventure! I loved the scenic views, the Wi-Fi and the cute little snack station. The bathrooms were nearby and no one sat beside me so that was nice. Cons: Well the staff weren’t too nice to me, when waiting in line for the bathroom the attendant stated a snarky remark that upset me. They never really talked to me the whole time and they always seemed to be friendly with other passengers. Eventually I Just learned to brush it off and enjoy the ride. Tips: Kids do very well on a train they even have little coloring books for them. Highly recommend if you have kids, they have an outlet but not for usb so make sure you bring the plug in box. They have a table seating area near the snack bar so if you have a group bring a board game!!! The snack bar accepts card and cash whatever works best for you. The Wi-Fi worked but it was a little spotty so make sure to download some movies.
