[QUOTE]Originally posted by dmwnc1959: [QB] It's roughly 2 hours to the closest Amtrak route from here, being either the Cardinal, Capital Limited, or Pennsylvanian. With Amtrak completely and literally 'out of sight, out of mind' there are people here that dont even know what Amtrak is. When I lived in Salisbury NC I was a die hard advocate for Amtrak because it ran through town 6 times a day. Its been 5 years since my last Amtrak ride. Since I've lived here in Clarksburg WV my views and opinions on Amtrak have almost drifted into a void of complete indifference. However, based on past and personal experiences: The Pacific Surfliner and Amtrak Cascades I could easily and always highly recommend. Never took Acela or the NE Corridor routes but feel I could recommend them as well. Same for Amtrak California. Long Distance 'day routes' like the Carolinian where fine in my opinion, but to others 12 hours in a metal tube just dont cut it. Overnighting in Coach is another story based on a persons endurance ability. I would literally have to [i]interview[/i] a perspective LD customer to see how much money they wanted to spend, how important time and comfort are to them, and then offer alternatives. I would of course be completely objective, pull up timetables and onboard route amenities, give them complete details, and then let them make the final decision. [/QB][/QUOTE]
