Amtrak Sacramento Salt Lake City recent customer reviews
Most of the staff were very very friendly and helpful. Especially Angelo in Sacramento. He helped pull my luggage all the way from the station to the terminal and help me figure out which way to board the train. My attendant on the train from Sacramento to Salt Lake City was not very friendly and have a little bit of an attitude
