Hello Travelers!
Kevin “Kev” Monteith here, and I have been riding Amtrak since 2021. I started with Amtrak’s Hiawatha, not knowing what I was doing. Since then, I have traveled on Amtrak nationwide, traveling on regional, long-distance, and Acela trains. My experience goes from coach to sleeper and accommodations in between.
I have had articles listed in different Facebook groups, Amtrak Unlimited, and other forums.
My love of helping others is why this site keeps going. People worldwide benefit from this site with its expert articles and communications.
