All was good except the fact that the ride took 4 hours & 15 min instead of the declared 3 & a half

Everything went smoothly at the train station. Check-in, boarding, luggage assistance. A beautiful scenic trip and an on-time arrival.

Extremely disorganized, they are SO short staffed. The one guy who seemed to be the only person working was kind though. For someone who had never travelled with Amtrak, it was very confusing and stressful.
