Amtrak Raleigh Rocky Mount recent customer reviews

I used Amtrak as a connection to Rocky Mount because of scheduling issues to be picked up from the airport RDU. The Amtrak staff were quick and efficient with getting everyone on and seated. When we arrived at my stop, I was instructed to debark and my bag would be carried down. What great service from the impressive team on train #40. This was my first experience. I would definitely use this service again.
