Last time I travelled by Amtrack they had very large reclining seats that are soooooo comfortable. They have a conductor to every coach and a comedian serving in the buffet car. The only problems with the California Zephyr I found were they were very slow (70mph max) poor punctuality and only one train a day. | ||
