Amtrak Crescent

Pros: I have never ridden a train long distance. I loved the idea that I didn't have to drive. Cons: The train and bathrooms could be cleaner, the seat wasn't terrible but for a 9 hour trip, they could be more comfortable, also the train was about an hour late leaving Danville Va, and so we weren't able to get food at the DC stop. Also, I never heard the announcement for the Cafe on the train. But overall, I enjoyed the trip, the ride n itself was relaxing. Tips: Make certain to pack snacks or food, bring a book or something else to occupy your time. Relax and enjoy the ride!
