Do they still supply pillows and blankets?
Do they still have a breakfast?
What is the procedure for getting seats, are they assigned when you arrive at the station?
Any other items we should know about?
Thank you, VT

We booked a room with a toilet so we had pillows, blankets, turndown service seats, meals and privacy. Not inexpensive though. We had our vehicles loaded to the brim with our valuables, things not trusted to the movers, and we didn’t want this sitting in a motel parking lot overnight. Nor did we want that load, near max gross vehicle weight, bouncing down I-95 for hours. It was worth the cost to us.
Oh yeah, I got to take a shower on a moving train!
