Amtrak Carolinian

Pros: Trip was fine until we arrived in Fredericksburg and the Conductor announced Petersburg. I asked the Conductor twice if this was Petersburg. He assured me and kept repeating it. Of course I got off and found I was at the wrong station. I was to arrive in Petersburg at 2:12. Didn't arrive until 5:00, after having to wait for another train that kept being delayed. Cons: Make sure stations are called correctly. Tips: If not certain of a station after asking the Conductor, ask a passenger.
