Acela-2s not needed ? The loads on AC-1s has just about maxed out. That is especially true on the NYP<>BOS leg whichat present is limited y number of trains. See latest performance report.
Ditto - love breakfast at sunrise in the dining car. Often get to have at least a first cup of java alone with the sun. I've met several Australians, too - fun chatting with them. Most of the time folks at my tables have been decent, sometimes fun, occasionally really enjoyable, and (rarely) to be avoided at the next meal.I have enjoyed conversations with several Australian travelers over dinner or lunch. Last Summer, I ate with many brand new inexperienced Amtrak travelers, who I was able to help make their journey better and hopefully ride again. I find I am alone at breakfast many times, since I enter when it opens. I enjoy breakfast with the rising sun.
