At least you were able to clean your window. From my experience with airliners, their little windows are dirty too. At least Amtrak offers a nice large window! <br /> <br />As far as I can tell Amtrak keeps their cars as clean as any bus or airliner. <br /> <br />Quite frankly, Amtrak needs to modernize as quickly as possible. High speed trains with dedicated passenger tracks averaging 125-150 mph could cover the distance of Dallas to Chicago and Dallas to Atlanta in less than 9 hours at 125 mph, and in 6 hours at 150 mph. <br />This is about the time it takes to drive out to the airport, find a parking space, wait in line to get throught security, fly the distance, wait for luggage, get a rental car, and drive to your destination in the other city. There would be no need to run trains at night, and more than likely depending on the speed, Amtrak could offer double or triple the daily service it offers now.
