    amtrak.com Changes

    Palmetto, Savannah - Fayetteville - Savannah Feb. 13, 2013

    Great report! I always wondered why someone would pay for business class on either the Palmetto or the Pennsylvanian when they can stay in coach and get a Amfleet II LD coach with the leg rests. Does Amtrak specifically utilize the Amfleet I coach for passengers only travelling short distances...
