Train friends:
I’m traveling with my wife and 6 year old from the East Bay to Portland this summer.
We’re thinking of taking Amtrak at least one way. We all love riding trains but have never done an overnight trip.
Can we get decent sleep in coach seats? Honest feedback would be appreciated.
My daughter and boyfriend have done two day train rides and they say them seats recline so they sleep in those and enjoy breaking up the day going into the dining car or some other car I forgot to play games, knit, eat, etc. Sent photos on Chicago to portland. gorgeous in some parts.
