Amtrak San Joaquins

Pros: My trip was very decent going to Merced and I probably would get up early to ride again early in the morning time although my trip coming back I had my new Gucci hat stolen from me train 713. Cons: More help from the people running the train walking through the bathrooms cleaner the seat cover for your head clean them every time you have a stop for more than 10 minutes I've seen bugs. Tips: Just if you have problems climbing the stairs really adamant about getting the help from the staff.
