Although a succulent steak from the dining car is a treat, only passengers in private rooms have access to that part of the train. The café car is an option for coach passengers, but if you aren't a fan of the food — or worse, you forget to bring cash and the credit-card machine goes down, which happened to me before — pack a cooler with tasty food options. I tend to bring delicious foods on my train rides that I don't always eat at home.

As a frequent train traveler, I've found ways to make my time in Amtrak's coach sections better. I pack a pillow so I can get comfy and a cooler of food so I don't have to rely on the café car. Although I can't always choose my seat, I try to avoid noisy spots by the car doors. I've been on over 25 long-haul train rides since I began working as a travel writer many years ago. I tend to take one or two train trips each year, traveling the US in quadrants and stopping in multiple cities along the way.
