点评:Family rode in the regular passenger car. It was comfortable and clean. We were lucky because we had access to the vestibule, which made it a far better experience. I’m not sure if we would’ve enjoyed it as much if we did not have that feature. The food (boxed lunch) was fair at best with no napkin provided. The snack was a small bag of pretzels. The railcar attendant was very pleasant, but due to a staffing shortage (per her), we went long periods without seeing her or any other staff member. The scenery and the ride were lovely (scenic) overall. We lucked out and foliage was close or at peak. Traveled with six of our family members. We were on the waitlist for five weeks hoping to get one more ticket but without success. Only notified from their email waitlist that tickets were available once in just over 5 weeks. Despite quickly following the link we were unable to secure one. It would be nice if last-minute seats were available due to no-shows if tickets were made available for purchase. Our car had at least 6 empty seats. We will ride again but try the dome, skip the boxed lunch and try a different route.
翻译:全家人都乘坐了普通的客运车厢。车厢内舒适又干净。我们很幸运能够使用门厅区域,这让我们的体验大为提升。如果不具备这个设施的话,我不确定我们是否还能享受这次旅程。提供的盒装午餐只能算马马虎虎,而且也没有配备餐巾纸。小零食则是一小袋椒盐脆饼而已。列车员态度很好,但据她所说由于人手不足,我们有很长一段时间都看不到她或其他工作人员的身影。总的来说,沿途的风景很美,乘车体验也很愉快。我们运气不错,此时正值树叶最茂盛、最美的时节。我们一家六口一同出行。我们在等候名单上排了整整五周,希望能多弄到一张票,但最终还是没能如愿。在五周多的时间里,他们只通过邮件通知过一次有票剩余。尽管我们迅速点击了链接,却还是没能买到票。如果能开放购票服务,从而让那些因有人爽约而空出的临时座位可以被购买就好了。我们的车上至少有6个空座位。我们还会再乘坐一次,不过这次打算试试圆顶车厢,不买盒装午餐,也选择一条不同的路线。
