Pros: Train car was very clean. Staff was super helpful. I felt very safe traveling alone. Cons: The train was 2 hours late sooo that sucked. Tips: Make backup plans in case the train is late. If you're getting back home to kids or pets, make sure you have a contingency plan if the train is hours late. If you're meeting someone at your destination, make sure they know the train might be late.
