Pros: I didn't lol I waited an extra 14 hours in DC station because my train was 12 hours late. Amtrak is giving me a refund for it. Very frustrating. Cons: The times the trains come lol. Tips: Just be prepared to expect delays sometimes. Amtrak has been good to me over the years. First time ever having a train be a day late basically.
