Finally gave in and tried the quiet car on Amtrak last week - total game changer for me

I have always been super skeptical about those 'quiet car' signs on Amtrak (like, who actually follows those rules, right?). But I had a 6 hour trip from Denver to Omaha last Tuesday and decided to give it a shot. I was honestly shocked - not a single loud phone call the whole ride. Some guy even gave a polite finger-shush to a teenager who started watching videos on speaker. I got more reading done in that one trip than I usually do in a week. Has anyone else had good luck with the quiet car on long routes, or did I just get lucky?

Denver to Omaha is a brutal stretch (been there, done that), so you honestly might have a better tolerance for quiet than me I can barely stay silent for a trip to the bathroom, let alone six hours.

You’ve got me pegged, @emma_burns96 - I’m basically a walking library of awkward quiet time. I can’t even last a minute in a bathroom without humming to myself, so six hours is just a slow, boring torture test.
