Amtrak

I needed to go to Chicago this past weekend. I wasn't ready to drive. My brother drove me from Ft. Wayne to Chicago, and I took the Amtrak back.

It was the nicest train I was on in all of my trip. Really.

There was a lot of room between rows of seats. The seats tilt back further than any I encountered. And they have a rest for your lower leg, as well as a foot rest. Features not at all found in a coach seat in Europe. Clean bathrooms too. (You know I'd put that info in.) There was dining service, but I was waiting for Mom's home cooking, so I didn't partake.

So go on! Give it a chance! The train was packed. All the cool kids are doing it!
