Which is why I get my own room if I take a train like that, except who wants to spend $500+ for a two hour train ride, when you can fly as far in less than half the time for less than 1/4th the cost?

Amtrak was obsolete twenty years ago. Like the postal service, our government sees some reason to keep pumping precious funds into a corpse of a business just so the northeast can continue to have crappy commuter service.

It should just as well be called Federal Train Service as most of it's use is paid for from federal tax dollars.

Gotta love them lobbyists.

A few years back I let the older daughter take the train with her aunts and cousins back to South Dakota from Washington state. They got a room, but they said even then it was pretty rough, as the kids on the train were running rampant.
