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
NPR states that there is an average of 3 train derailments per day so I would be more concerned about that then whether you got a pillow or not. Just make sure your car and life insurance is valid before you go.
