I've happened to always hit the coldest cars. Last time I got a train from Tampa, FL to Raleigh, NC, 15 and half hours overnight ride, I was freezing so bad (suitcase in cargo) so I needed to sleep in the dining car :p. If you are travelling around the states, I would recommend to rent a car and if necessary, catch a plane.
Things have been made too complicated. If you put a bag to cargo, you need to wait for it in a BAGGAGE CLAIM for only God knows how long :/. It's easier in smaller stations though.
The coach seats anyway are very comfortable and you have a power supply for each passenger. Staff is nice and once you are in the train, it's great. Sometimes though the A/C varies a lot. The temperature in most of the train cars is comfortable, but in some cars you will freeze and the conducters can do nothing.
The sights might be excellent sometimes, especially at the mountains, but Amtrak itself and the US railway network is the worst I have ever seen. Trains don't go where you want to go and if they go they go totally wrong time (once or twice a day except some places).
The connections to other trains are poor. An eight-hour waiting time is nothing unusual, many stations don't have any Amtrak staff at all.
does anybody know what the song name is? i would really like to know!
