As long as my son is stationed in the Pentagon, I'll continue to ride Amtrak from Chicago to D.C. I like having the small sleeping compartment to myself and the food, which is part of the fare, is pretty dang good on the train. Dinner always has three entrees, two of which are ribeye steak and prime rib, the other changes every night, so even when I was flying a lot, in the time airlines served food, the food was never that great. On Amtrak, nobody suddenly moves their seat back cramping my knees. Nor sit beside a really fat person who has one cheek on my chair. Or listen to some screeching kid bawling for hours on end. Airlines maybe faster getting from one place to another but that is only part of the journey, how about the time spent getting to the airport, nowadays you have to be in the airport 2 hours before your flight, and the time getting to your final destination. If you check baggage, it has to be left unlocked so that any Tom, *** or Harry could rifle your bag and take whatever they want. No Sir, I'll stay with Amtrak.
