Can I get Wi-Fi on the train? Does Amtrak, or other trains, have Wi-Fi?

Ugh, train WiFi? It's a total crapshoot. Seriously.

Last summer, Amtrak from Chicago to Milwaukee? Nope. Zilch. Nada. My carefully planned work-in-progress novel remained unwritten.

Some trains, though? Like, that one time I took the Coast Starlight down the California coast – amazing views, terrible WiFi. Spotty at best.

Check directly with the train company. Don't assume anything. Their websites usually have details; sometimes even a cost.

I paid $10 for an hour of unreliable internet on a European high-speed train once. Don't be like me. Plan accordingly. No guarantees.
