Just wanted to shout-out about my excellent experience on Amtrak this Summer. I took the Empire Builder to Portland, slept in a sleeper, and enjoyed myself immensely. The programming (including the wine tasting) was awesome. The food was scrumptious -- even the breakfast in a box in Portland.
We joined in MSP, took the train to Portland, saw Portland, hopped a train to Seattle (comfy), then took the Empire Builder back from Seattle. On the way back, we had a man named Gul as our car attendant. Gul offered a level of service I've never seen in any mode of travel, ever. He is Amtrak's most amazing asset.
Anyway: Loved this trip and recommend it highly.
