Amtrak Missouri River Runner

Pros: Very relaxing and did not have to do the driving. Got my business done when I got there and drove my newer car home to Sedalia. Cons: When we arrived in Kansas City Central Station, we had to walk up about 50 stairs to get into the station. Some people struggled with their luggage. Tips: Always take an umbrella and a jacket with you.

Amtrak Missouri River Runner

Pros: Courteous staff was refreshing. The prompt arrival and departure was wonderful!! Cons: Spraying with Lysol or wiping down with sanitizer would have made it seem as though the establishment truly cared for the passengers welfare. Tips: To be responsible for yourself and ware your masks and wipe down your area before and after seating.
