Amtrak Crescent

Pros: Being with my mom and brother and just my family. The train wobbles alot so it makes it hard to get comfortable and really enjoy the ride and sleep, rest. Cons: Faster train rides. Better food. Tips: Bring water, snacks, pillows and a blanket. Just expect delays in your arrival and departure times even if they are perfectly on schedule.
