Riding Amtrak -- Trainful or Painful?

Most of my Amtrak experience has been in the Northeast Corridor so I can't comment on service out west. I'll generally agree though, it can be hit or miss. When I was riding between DC and Albany it was a fine trip, certianly better than the airport hastle (this was before super-cheap airfare between Albany and BWI). I haven't riden in a few years, but in the years I was things seemed to be improving. This may be because as they brought in new equipment, the oldest stuff got bumped off, sort of a trickle down effect. I'd be a bit concerned about the timing. The distance trains, at least in my observation, are almost always late. Make sure you schedule enough pad time and you should be fine.
