Amtrak Vermonter

Pros: On time and very relaxing and cool. Cons: Passengers leftover drinks were there, should force to clean their stuff before leaving the train. Tips: I reached almost 1.5 hours before but seriously it would not take that much time. So if you reached 30 min prior to departure is good enough.
