Hello this is my first post here. I am leaving from Greensboro, NC going to Wilmington, DE. I think I am taking the Carolinian, I upgraded to business class and have already got my tickets. It says my train leaves at 9:45am how early should I be? Am I going to get strip-searched like the airport? I am a smoker I hear that certain stops I can get off and smoke should I leave my carry on in my seat or take it with me. I am taking alot of valuable electronics do I need to take extra care about leaving them while I go to the restroom or dining car? Is my seat reserved I didn't see a seat number on my ticket? I know I have lots of questions any advice or info is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
