Hello Guest Guest...
Thanks for clearing that up. Your response seems very clear and accurate. It also sounds like you were taken care of by your sleeping car attendant. Your brother failed to mention this. Your brother also failed to mention that you WERE served lunch. These are pretty important details.
I really do try to see both sides of the coin at all times. I've ridden Amtrak for years and years and there was a time (notably when Amtrak's priority was mail and express freight) when I agreed the only people who would take Amtrak were railfans like myself, and people who really couldn't travel any other way. But I've seen Amtrak improve remarkably so it's hard for me to hear such negative things from a company who I've personally rooted for and really been impressed with. The refurbished equipment, improved customer service, and greatly improved on time performance has to mean SOMETHING.
Yes.. Amtrak is not perfect... but it's not a luxury train, it's public transportation. It's moving people across the country like no other transit system does.
Anyways. thanks for the reply and it would be great to hear more of your thoughts as well. Hopefully your brother will be able to give more details in a reasonable way after the trip too.
