Picture Post: Round two time. Back up to Portland. Overall, the Airo is a very welcome upgrade from the Amfleet and even the Talgo. There are some quirks with the seat design (like the coat hook blocking the tray table), but the scoot recline is a lot better than I was expecting. Siemens built a pretty good product. #gobytrain #amtrakairo #amtrakcascades
