Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: Consistently excellent, no regrets for choosing the Train for my monthly visit with Family and friends, drove the 135 miles, Each way, around 2.5 hours. With train including to and from station, a little less than 2 hours, not including no wheel time and at less 1.5 hrs of relaxation. Cons: The train is find, track part of the stations could use quite a bit of up keep. It would be niece to have a place to wait for train on train level, instead of stairs and hallways.
