Taking the train was so easy, fast, and relaxing! Lots of leg room, comfy seats, reasonably priced food & bev in the cafe car, great amenities like outlets at every seat (plus a few folks set up laptops on tables in the cafe car for a little more table space.). The bathrooms could be cleaner/nicer but were ok.
