点评:I'm a local, so take that for what it's worth. We took our 7 yr old grandson, and sat in the First class Dome car. We rode from Peninsula to Akron and back. You have a view of the Cuyahoga River off & on, otherwise it's just trees, roads, houses, and past the water treatment plant. If you love trains, and like to ride, it's just fine. Just don't expect magnificient scenery. I can't speak as to what the northern end of the route is like, as I have not ridden that way. The Dome car was great, it was nice to be up high, in the air conditioning and on a comfortable seat with a table. Now for the "be aware". Our conductor was terrible, first off she sent us to the wrong car, which we knew it was the wrong car, but whatever, did what we were told and ended up having to make a dash to the other car just as the train started moving, since we were in someone elses seats. I think she was narrating on the way south, but we couldn't hear a thing. A combination of I don't think her mic was on and the very loud group of younger people across from us, who never even looked out a window or commented on the view the whole time, but I know that's not the railroad's fault. The conductor did come up to our dome car during the trip back to Peninsula, again with her microphone which was not on, but from what I could pick up from what she was saying, she didn't have much information, I heard something about Quaker Oats, but again, I'm a local so that's not news to us. Overall, if you like trains, it was an good experience, but I wouldn't do it again unless we had company that really wanted to ride.
翻译:我是当地人,所以我的话仅供参考吧。我们带着7岁的孙子,坐在了头等舱的圆形车厢里。我们从半岛站出发,到阿克伦后再返回。途中能偶尔看到凯霍加河的景色,不过大部分时间看到的都是树木、道路、房屋,还有污水处理厂。如果你喜欢火车、也喜欢乘坐火车旅行,那这趟行程倒也不错。只是别指望能看到什么绝美的风景啦。至于路线的北端是什么样子,我就说不准了,因为我没坐过那段路线。圆顶车厢真的很棒,能坐在高处、享受着空调,还有带桌子的舒适座椅,感觉太好了。现在来说说需要注意的地方。我们的列车员表现糟糕透顶:首先她把我们带到了错误的车厢,其实我们也知道那是错的车厢,但也没多想,就照做了。结果列车刚起步,我们就不得不慌忙赶往另一节车厢,因为我们坐到了别人的座位上。我觉得她在向南行驶途中做了讲解,但我们什么都没听清。一方面是我觉得她的麦克风没开,另一方面是我们对面有一群吵吵嚷嚷的年轻人——他们整个过程中既没朝窗外看过一眼,也没对沿途景色发表过任何评论。不过我知道这不是铁路部门的错。在返回半岛号的途中,列车员又来到了我们的圆顶车厢,手里依然拿着没打开的麦克风。不过从她所说的内容来看,她掌握的信息也并不多;我隐约听到了“桂格燕麦”之类的词,但也仅此而已。我是当地人,所以这对我们来说不算什么新鲜事。总的来说,如果你喜欢火车,这是一次不错的体验;不过除非有特别想乘坐火车的人陪同,否则我不会再去了。
