My trip to Washington went very smoothly. It was a little confusing but I was able to board my train at the time it said it came without delays. The only thing was I got on the wrong train but it still took me to where I had to go.

Didn’t know what to expect or be expected of as we rode the Amtrak for the first time and exiting was confusing and rushed. As only certain doors open to exit
