The travel, especially this time of year is spectacular. The driver was good (I was licensed commercial driver some 25 years ago) and connections were on time. Sorry that the WiFi didn't work. I could have used it.

I want to be able to see which gate the train arrives at from the amtrak app. I liked that I could wander between the cars. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
