Passenger Trains > Washington Post article on transcontinental trip on AmtrakDate: 09/03/24 14:04 Washington Post article on transcontinental trip on Amtrak Author: NMlurker I encountered no paywall. What struck me was the almost complete lack of any real complaining and nothing about timeliness or lack thereof. I found the persepctive interesting.
