I been on trains all over the world, on the cheap tickets too, so I can't judge quality, but Atlantic to Pacific 3 times, twice Amtrak,. The speed, sidings, food, and worst of all the fellow passengers you are stuck with for days on end was too much for me. On the 'empire builder' A guy just back from Afganistan, with gaping big pink holes in his neck and arms from an IUD, was in the conductor's face cause two people who were causing one sleepless comotion after another were now smoking crack in the bathroom down below. I thought the car was on fire, but he knew the smell. The conductor threatened to throw 'him' off at the next stop...Fargo? He was on his way back to Boston and swore to never ride a train again. He said he didn't get blown up so's crackheads could commit crimes on federal property while he sits on his dufflebag at a North Dakota bus stop. Another transcontinental trip was to Edmonton then pacific coast on VIA. Comfortable, clean, freindly, fast! like an average of 80, and the CNR freights waited for us, we only stopped dead in nowhere 3 times- waiting for opposing VIA passenger trains who had the right of way. No one drank outside of their seat or lounge car, no one partied except the lounge car, and unlike the torn up soldlier, a Ojibway Souix chick with a restless 3 year old- who was just in a Toronto hospital for a big operation- kept running up and down the isle. Mom and kid were threatened to be kicked off at the next station... seriously, just a dead silent bored little kid! The other passengers took the conductor seriously, so we entertained the little papoose to get her out of sight and tired out, up there the cops take you to the bus station while you explain why you got thrown off the train. Almost overly professional. Amtrak, rolling post office, and politically correct to the point of just sickening. Would do VIA again if needed, but got a campervan now, just drive wherever.
