We rode Amtrak from Sacramento California to Tukwilla Washington.
Pros:
- Seat pitch, plenty of room everywhere including in the Coach car, huge comfortable seats with plenty of leg room even for Mrs dimes and Jr who's around 6'5".
- Food was good.
- We got roomettes for most of the journey, bottom bunk was quite nice. Top bunk was a bit claustrophobic inducing but still a bed.
- No pre boarding X-ray and they didn't seize my beer or sealed container of frito's bean dip.
Cons:
- Price.
- restroom in coach was kind of nasty.
- Not being high speed rail made the trip pretty long almost 24 hours with a stop over in Portland.
At Sea-tac they threw out my bean dip after I got X-rayed. Obviously a power move to put me in my place. Frito's bean dip is not a liquid,
