Amtrak Boston Buffalo recent customer reviews

AMTRAK can’t compete with Europe or China when it comes to speed and efficiency on modern trains. AMTRAK is still going at turtle pace, when it comes to the modern world. Unless its trains are replaced with high speed bullet trains, the greatness of America will be diminished.
