Amtrak Palmetto

Pros: I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. Even though I was traveling by myself, I felt completely comfortable. Cons: The food in the cafe cart could be improved. The bread was always a little stale. Tips: I advise they pack their own food to avoid extra spending on the train. Bring an activity to keep you busy, as well as headphones to cancel out the constant train horn.
