Here is my long awaited response to everyone that thought I was a troll. Moderators please shut this thread down after my post so it will not induce panic in your freakishly uneducated group.
I still stand my everything that I stated, the environment on the train is no better than walking through the worst city block you can imagine. Examples for my negative post are as follows.
Event 1. Eating with convicts in the diner car that not only were allowed on the train after they were just released, but they could not even write their name or read the menu!! (Safety & Uneducated)
Event 2. Passenger in observation cars taking random pictures of nothing after descending from Raton pass where he took no pictures at all. Passenger then tucks a few bags randomly and leaves them unattended and never returns. (Safety)
Event 3. Sewage gas leaking in to my roomette causing nausea and making the trip unbearable.
Event 4. Rough tracks causing drinks to spill, hitting head arms and extremities against the walls and ceiling of roomette. Train speed was a factor, the train was late so amtrak proceeded to break speed limits to catch up time (clocked at over 100 mph).
Event 5. Return trip I have no air in my roomette at all, currently was told that I have to grin and bear it. I did not spend the money to grin and bear it.
Event 6. Train is over capacity and multiple sleepers have been refused lunch reservation because they filled them with "coach" passengers.
I can go on and on about the horrendous trip has went and how I have talked to other passengers that have told me even worse stories. This is a sinking ship that need's to be sunk, and fund diverted to more important entities like education reform,closing our borders, and many many many other options that lead to a more productive country.
