Or have hours-long layovers in the middle of the night in crime-ridden major metros...
Or that. But I’m jaded that my only real Amtrak experience was trying to get from NM to VA 2 days after 9/11. In hindsight I should have just kept the rental car and started driving about 1000 local on 9/11.
Or be a magnet for smelly, trashy, rude, annoying, human garbage.
Just did Amtrak on the Capitol Limited and it was an experience. People talk with no regard to anyone else. People burp, eat loudly, smell like weed, talk on the phone, and snore. Not pleasant.
