Hi All,
A friend of mine and her co-worker (two attractive young women) from China will be here soon and are planning on taking the night train from WashingtonDC to Boston to visit. They asked me about safety on the train and, never having ridden a train, i'm really not sure what to tell them. Considering that they won't have the, take your pick: hardened edge, thickened skin, etc. of most American travellers can anyone offer some re-assurance the night train is safe and/or some personal safety guidelines if there is anything that pertains particularly to train travel? Will they have other people in their room or are most sleeper rooms 2 person? Should they avoid lounges etc at night?
I hope this isn't sounding paranoid, I really just want them to have a fun, safe experience travelling in America and I have no personal experience with their selected means of travel.
Any advice will be appreciated,
Thanks,
-Ken
