      I know there are a lot of complaints about trains in the US but honestly I don’t think most people realize how comfortable it can be to travel on @Amtrak. I’m in business class (not that much more expensive than coach, or that different) and it feels like high luxury.pic.twitter.com/nqWVQ6c8rR

      A photo of my row and the seats across the aisle on my train. I’m stretching out my legs to the footrest of the seat next to me. Across the aisle a guy is sitting with his legs crossed and a huge amount of legroom in front of him, even though the dude in front of him is at maximum recline. The seats are clean and large and very comfortable.

          My question is why is it cheaper to ship anything by ground except a person?

          Agree. Love trains on the NE corridor in CA from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

          Yeah, but to be fair, I think the Surfliners are the second best experience on Amtrak after the Acelas. Everything else is another tier down at best (but the worst Amtrak is still better than flying coach in the US, full stop).
