The last time I took the Amtrak in California was 4-5 years ago- the toilet was filled with and overflowing with feces and menstrual blood- the tables were covered in trash and of course just like in these photos the trains were cutting edge crumbling/dirty 1980's models. I started throwing the trash in the bins and an Amtrak staffer came through and told me "You don't have to do that- that's someone else's job" Someone else was nowhere to be found though. I took the Amtrak several times from southern to northern California and it was always just bearable. The train experience in the USA is pathetic and depressing. I have since moved to a "poor" country in Western Europe and the train experience here is MUCH MUCH better than Amtrak in the states as is most everything else.
