1 Answer

Answer :

I have a close friend who strictly uses Amtrak for travel. She takes herself and her two grade school aged children. She doesn’t like to drive. She travels at least twice a year in it. Typically overnight. She couldn’t speak highly enough of it. I’ve traveled on it but never overn night and never with a sleeper car.
