Amtrak Dearborn Chicago recent customer reviews

What I didn’t appreciate was the lady letting us on the train who let sick women get in line in front of me and get their choice of seats whilst I stood there with my knee wrapped in a cane. I was unable to find a seat with my husband and I very much needed that extra support. She didn’t care, she told me to make a friend.
