This review is my experience of the trip frkm el paso to tucson…read more El Paso train station Is huge. Waiting area consist of wooden church bench and a vending machine Room where you can plug your phone to charge. The train was late and never got notified until 30mins AFTER i arrived at the station. Once the train arrived, Downloading took about 10 mins Original take off 1:47, Left at 2:54 Tips- Bring your own food to include your own beverages. You only get water and ice included in your ticket. Going on a Long haul, bring blanket and pillow. One lady brought a fitted sheet to drape over her seat...good idea If, like me , you have a neighbor, its ok. You can hang out at the lounge or snack bar...pretty empty. bring your charger. Outlets everywhere. If you have an enthusiatic conductor, he'll point out key things along the way. I see why they named it the sunset route. Right after Lordsburg,  the sun started to set...beautiful however the scenery was distorted by the water spots on the window. Beware- High prices on snacks...as expected Rude people who don't use ear plugs for their mobile electronics, however, letting the conductor know nipped it at the bud. My 7hour trip to include a 45mins delay was long enough to experience Amtrak. I must admit, it was an enjoyable trip

I am a frequent traveler of AmTrak & just want to openly express my concerns. The first bathroom…read moredoor on the first level of train 2/422, 34109, coach class, I had locked the door to that bathroom & as I was attempting to exit, I attempted to unlock the door, but for some peculiar reason, the damn door would not unlock! So I banged it from the inside & yelling to get a staff's attention & sure enough, one of them came because I heard that male staff on the opposite side of the door & loudly asked me if I was one one behind that door & J yelled I was! So he managed to get the door open & that's when I asserted that door lock needs replacement, but he was dismissive saying it just got alittle jammed (as if nothing really just happened.). But I am bringing this matter to the public's attention that the doors on those restrooms need to be thoroughly inspected before someone else experiences the same thing! It's a safety issue & should not happen at all like this. But other than that, I have had nothing, but a very good experience traveling on AmTrak. I have been a frequent AmTrak train traveler since September 2022. I will continue traveling on AmTrak, but I would like to see improvements on those bathroom locks.
