Amtrak

Arrived here at night a few days ago. Was not really comfortable as a woman traveling alone got here at 9 pm. Station has a bathroom and a woman was manning the counter. There are ticket kiosks outside. I did not see any security people. There were taxis but I called my hotel to ask the best way to get there and the guy gave me a number to call. Dispatch sent a taxi which I shared with a nice lady until she went to her hotel and I went to mine. I would be freaked out if I was at the station at night alone but there was a pretty big crowd of nice people so true was good. I was supposed to arrive at 6pm in daylight but my train was running over 3 hours late due to an accident. I would have felt a bit safer arriving in daylight earlier in the day. Left on the 9 am a few days later. Station opens at almost 8:30 so buy your ticket at the kiosk or online cause the line forms fast and was busy. I brought mine online then downloaded the apple app and used eticket which they scan from my iPhone. Look ma I saved a tree!
One tip. Don’t drink a lot. You really don’t want to use the bathroom on the train. Guys pee all over the seat and it’s hard to squat on a moving train in a bathtub size of a closet.

Had a mixed experience at this Amtrak station.
Stopped by to purchase a ticket and had to wait awhile for someone to come to the ticket counter. This is a small location, so I guess the ticketing agent has other duties. Rather annoying to have to wait 15 minutes to buy a ticket when I couldn’t buy it online (I was using a voucher). Even worse to have to come twice because the hours they keep are different than what
reports.
After a small argument, the employee I was dealing with finally helped me when the customer service line could not. I wish she had started out the encounter so helpful, but my issue was finally resolved, and it would not have been without Denise.
