Re: World's "Coolest" train
Probably a heck of a lot smoother ride than even the Northeast Corridor, too!

Spoiler for For those who don't know what the Northeast Corridor is:
The Northeast Corridor is the stretch of Amtrak-owned track that stretches from Union Station in Washington to South Station in Boston. (South Station is a pretty awesome station at that.) You can feel the difference when you cross from the freight tracks that make up most of Amtrak's system to the NEC, which connects with the Silver Star route (the only train that serves Columbia) in Washington. It's a great improvement in ride smoothness, but light sleepers still need not apply.
