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.

More expensive but if you were driving you’d have gas and hotel charges so it offsets it a little bit. Lots of fun tho. Bring a water bottle to fill.
