Amtrak Sacramento San Jose recent customer reviews
It was fun seeing the farm country, the industrialized businesses backyards and the towns on the way that I would not have been able to see as a driver. The run was a little unnerving at times because of the swerving; it felt like the train might tip over. We were a little disappointed that our hamburger was not as tasty as it could be. Overall it was a good trip because of the personnel being friendly and accommodating.

There is lower level disability seating which made it easy for me to find a comfortable seat rather than go up stairs.
Janet H.
Very nice. Will keep using this
