Amtrak Cascades

Pros: My fellow passengers were quite helpful storing my carry on over head and removing them from over head when detraining at the end of the ride and helped in unloading them from the train. Cons: I think the upholstery could be updated and I think they should have built in USB ports for charging phones and devices Tips: Yeah help your fellow travelers and be patient and let others go first they may repay you by off loading your luggage
