Amtrak Vermonter

Pros: It was straightforward and simple. Found a seat, just a one hour journey, so everything was comfortable. Cons: I think there were many passengers at one point, many people just came and sat next to each other in the BWI station. I wanted to not have anyone beside me just yet because we are only just coming out of the peak Covid phase. But someone say next to me and they were not wearing their masks properly and laughing loudly with each other. Still a bit unsafe I feel. Tips: It’s best to find a compartment that is less crowded.
