Amtrak Boston Rochester recent customer reviews

Service was good. The conductors polite and helpful. The compartments were clean and seats comfortable. It ran on time. However the train service in USA needs a complete overhaul. The ride is very rocky. Our trains rides are no comparison to trains in China, France and even the modern Indian trains.
