That had to mess up the windows too with that corporate graffiti? Oh well, whatever Amtrak has to do to make ends meet I suppose. Good find anyway! |

Exactly, can you imagine being the dude riding the train that has to look through that rubbish the whole trip, messing up the spectacular view? I'd want my money back. |

It's one thing to look through the gauze on a crappy buck and a quarter bus, but on the Acela, no way.your pal, Fred |

Since the doors were open, I wanted to board briefly to find out for myself, but as a guest on the premises I felt that would be inappropriate. A poster on another message board stated that he rode the train and felt that the view through the wrap was good. |
