Amtrak Capitol Limited

Pros: I enjoyed seeing the countryside and not feeling rushed, as I do when I fly. Cons: The handicap bathrooms could be well marked and their use for disabled passengers only enforced. At longer stops, the bathrooms and cars could be disinfected, and sanitizer could be offered to passengers, especially when food is ordered. Menu choices could be on-line. Internet access should be available. Tips: Take snacks and something to pass the time (a book, knitting, games). Both internet and phone service is frequently not available.
