The seats were so comfortable. Staff was so nice and helpful. I have not taken the train in years and was very stressed because of my air travel. The 4 hour delay because if the suicide on the track was not fun. But that is not the trains fault.

I would take the train again. It was easy and very comfortable. The food options were somewhat limited because they had not received all the veggie snack packages they had expected.
