Amtrak Silver Service
Pros: Great staff & friendly commuters which made the trip so enjoyable & swift although it was over ten hours but the camaraderie was cool! Cons: Announcements could be made clearer over the speakers. Plugs for electronic devices should be located on both sides of the seats not just by window seats because it can be an inconvenience to the fellow passenger. Tips: Travel light.
