Amtrak Northeast Regional

Pros: Once on the train, it was an easy trip. Didn't have to move around from seat to seat, didn't have to worry about direction or destination. Cons: Description of Penn Station - there were some notes on the Wanderu and AMTRAK ticket about the overnight gates being closed and which ones were open, but even some of the supposed open ones were closed. Need better directions of where to go inside Penn Station to catch the train. Tips: Look at an online map of Penn Station before arriving, so you know what entrance you are going in, and where you are going inside the station to find your train platform.
