The Berliner-Zeitung transport reporter rides the quaint Amtrak trip from Harpers Ferry to Chicago. Story filed on 22 July is as gentle as it could be.

My laptop had Google Translate do that....

Not as comprehensive a trip report as our members typically do...nor as detailed as some of the popular ones on the web, but still interesting to read from a German perspective...

He verifies what I have heard elsewhere, that Amfleet seats are among the most comfortable to be found on any train.

Unless I missed it, he was talking about Superliner seats (which may or may not be the same as Amfleet seats)

You are right, I forgot it was the Capitol Limited which is Superliner.

You are right, I forgot it was the Capitol Limited which is Superliner.

But Amfleet II Coach seats are Comfortable!

And on Superliners, the Coach seats are more comfortable than Roomette seats!
