THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE
|
|
When you travel the Heartland Flyer, you're riding in comfort.
Some of the equipment on the Heartland Flyer was specially built
for Oklahoma by Amtrak craftspeople in Beech Grove, Ind.,
near Indianapolis.
Each seat has a reclining back rest, swing-out footrest,
individual reading lamp . . . and more legroom than a typical
first-class airline seat!
Restrooms are on the lower level, as well as accessible
seating areas for people with special mobility requirements.
One coach also contains a snack bar,
serving sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks.
