Hey all, so as I am setting out on my first Amtrak trip since 2011 I wanted to make sure I had all my bases covered. I had a couple random questions that could help tie loose ends... I've been out of the loop so some things may have changed.
-Does the Penny still run with AF BC with the NEC seating (smaller than the coach class?)
-I have never been on the Carolinian, and my friend is contemplating a CLT-NYP run on the return trip... what equipment is used? Is BC worth the upgrade? Would you suggest the alternative train 20 with it's red-eye departure?
-Are there any things around the Charlotte Amtrak station to do? My friend and I will be arriving on 19 and have to kill a morning (and perhaps afternoon)
-Anything else like major policy changes I should know about? Seems like most everything is (sadly) the same though I've noticed a few improvements!
Safe travels!
