[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] I'm not sure when or even if this topic has been addressed here in the past, but I think there could be interesting discussion arising from such. The question is simply what Amtrak services would you recommend, with of course your good name standing behind such, to a non-railfan/hobbyist friend or associate. I'll lead off; I would heartily recommend Amtrak for Northeast Corridor travel; I would conditionally recommend routes such as Chi-Milw and Chi-Springfield if the traveler had no need for an auto at destination. My conditional recommendation would apply on any of the college routes, although it seems like most any college kid I know has an auto. I would not recommend LD's to anyone, but if asked I would give general advice on routes accommodations, etc. The best case in point is this past February on the Florida trip with my Sister. While down below, she developed an ear blockage (it runs in the family; I get 'em too) and deemed it best not to fly home to New York as scheduled. She ended up staying over two more days doing nothing more than going to the Doctor or shopping mall and eating salads at a Mickey D (last I saw of her was at a Hertz outlet after she had her auto "for the duration" in hand). I was not about to suggest "how about the train', even though she would have been home sooner. Had she asked, I would have needed some smelling salts. Let's discuss with maturity and respect.
