I wouldn't advise anyone to ride Amtrak trains. Their employees are very unprofessional; lacking ethical skills and very rude and disrespectful to customers.
I've just recently rode a Amtrak train to Louisiana for my grandmother's funeral. The Amtrak station in Chicago, Illinois is another example. They kick you out of the station at midnight. Even though you have a boarding ticket to ride the train. They don't care if you live or die out in them streets. New Orleans, Louisiana Amtrak station is no different. They have gang members hanging around the train station.
Their supervisors are criminals dressed up in a uniform. They gave me a price amount for a boarding ticket. Next, when it was time to collect payment; and said that I didn't tell you that. There is some funny business going on in that organization.
