November 14, 2025- Visiting family

Austin to Fort Worth

Pros: I always enjoy the ride and trip because it is comfortable and not so long. However, no fault of staff or Amtrak, the passengers that was traveling in seats in front and behind me this trip had taken up all the seats in the area and thrown paper on the floors. I think had gotten the seat they had been in. They were loud and walked the entire ride of the trip but made it safely to my destination. Thank you... Cons: Everything was great... Tips: Be courteous of the other passengers.
