Pros: I hadn't ridden Amtrak for a number of years and felt my more recent experiences w/ the trains in northern Europe were much better, in comparison. I was happily surprised at the train cars, service and comfy seats on this trip--keep it up!! Cons: When the train stopped in Albany for "re-stocking." it would have been a good idea to also clean the bathrooms. The floor got extremely wet during the first half of the trip and prospective occupants looked and nixed going in that (larger access bathroom) choosing the other across the aisle or waiting for that single bathroom, if occupied at that time. Tips: Don't forget to ask questions of the Park Ranger who comes by with a map of the journey along lake Champlain and is open to receive and give information about the Adirondack Park.
