All Day Petersburg trip, a day of experiences.
Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad的点评
点评:Our second trip on this rail experience. This time was the All Day trip to Petersburg, WV. We booked the Superior Dining experience for the trip. Our rail coach was very comfortable and smooth riding. So much so you couldn't tell you were on Jointed rail. The package included a light breakfast, charcuterie board for lunch and the return featured a four course dinner. The offering were very good. Breakfast was filling and tasty. The lunch was not bad and the dinner was very good, all prepared on board the train. A little pricey but certainly worth it.
My biggest complaint would be the fact that the company seems not to put money into their facilities. The cars while clean, comfortable and overall very nice, the outside of the train was dirty and in need of a lot of TLC. The "station", just a collection of decks with canopy roofing on part of it along with a couple of old cabooses for tickets and restrooms looked shabby. The restrooms were barely a step above an outhouse, very smelly and not clean, just plywood.
The trip itself was nice but a little slow. Arrived back in Romney almost an hour late due to a fallen tree on the tracks and stopping for cows on the tracks. Part of the experience.
翻译:这是我们第二次体验这种铁路旅行。这次是一整天的行程,目的地是西弗吉尼亚州的彼得斯堡。我们预订了高级餐饮服务套餐。列车车厢非常舒适,行驶也平稳无比,以至于你根本感觉不到自己正坐在有接缝的铁轨上。套餐中包含简单的早餐、午餐时的冷切肉拼盘,返程时还有四道菜的晚餐。食物品质相当不错:早餐既饱腹又美味;午餐也不错;晚餐则非常出色。所有服务均在火车上完成。价格虽稍贵,但绝对物有所值。
我最大的不满在于,这家公司似乎并不在设施维护上投入资金。车厢内干净、舒适且整体环境很好,但火车外部却很脏,亟需精心打理。所谓的“车站”不过是一些带有遮阳棚的平台,还有几节用来出售车票和作为卫生间的旧守车,看起来破旧不堪。那些洗手间勉强能算得上是厕所吧,气味难闻且很不干净,只不过是用胶合板搭起来的而已。
这次旅程本身挺不错的,就是速度有点慢。由于铁轨上有倒下的树木,还有奶牛挡在铁轨上,我们比预定时间晚了近一个小时才回到罗姆尼。不过这也算是旅行体验的一部分吧。
