Like many of you I have ridden on quite a few Amtrak trains but so far my vote for the roughest ride would have to go to the AutoTrain. A combination of constant 70+ MPH speed, poorly maintained CSX track, numerous grade crossing and a heavy long train can make for a very rough ride. We have six trips on the AT and on each one I remember bouncing around in bed all night. In contrast the NEC is usually pretty smooth and the CL and parts of th CST are not bad.
A poll that lists all Amtrak routes would be too large so it would be nice knowing where to expect a smooth trip as opposed to where you can expect the bumps! Wahts the best/roughest ride that you have had?
