I took the Empire Builder from Seattle to Chicago, and then I forget which through W Va up to Philly. It was a great few days watching the countryside roll by.
They’ve been solid for me. I used to take the Acela between NYC and Baltimore all the time. It was faster than flying when comparing door-to-door times, cheaper, no fucking TSA, and it had a bar car. Also took one from Portland to BC recently which was legit.
I always find it strange when I find someone in the wild who likes Amtrak. I have only heard and experienced horror stories.
I’ve ridden on Amtrak’s business class on the NEC or sleepers outside thbide corridor since I was a child. So, I have a bit of a bias.
