I fucking love Amtrak, I’ll take it every time over planes.
BUT it isn’t without it’s own issues lol. Prices are outrageous these days, and more trips I’ve made have been delayed by a death (look before you cross tracks folks) than you’d be willing to believe (in case you’re wondering, it’ll be about 2h before they have the accident cleared).
That said the train can hit a car and only be delayed 2h, try that in a plane and all you leave is a crater in a Florida neighborhood. And instead of constant anxiety for 3h I get pleasant trip through countryside for 6h, I’ll take it in a heartbeat.
