I'm a female attorney in Alabama and a few years ago, after a trip planned by my child, I fell in LOVE with the train. It was wonderful to sit back, relax and let somebody else wait on you, do the driving, eat pretty good and all while watching beautiful scenery go by. We stayed in first class which included an overnight compartment (one for the adults - one for the kids (teens). Since that trip, we have taken Amtrak several more times cross country and loved it each time. Sure, I can see the need for improvements, but given their lack of support it is remarkably well-run. What can I do to become involved in getting more routes through Alabama. Despite a beautiful train station - we no longer get train service in Montgomery - we have to drive to Birmingham.!
