Would it be safe for a 20 year old girl to ride the train from Philly to Detroit, Michigan?

I live in Philadelphia and I want to visit my mother in Detroit. I don't have anyone to accompany me. Would it be safe to go alone? Would it be unwise to carry a shopping bad with me on the train?

The Amtrak is generally very safe. There's a lot of people on-board, and it's much safer than Greyhound.

You should be able to go alone, but make sure that you don't appear like an easy target. Dress simple, try not to use a shopping bag.

Just remember - for the most part, everything's safe. There's only a few isolated cases. In fact, even if you hitchhiked, chances are, nothing's going to happen to you. The risk is incredibly small as-is, and it's just social norms to avoid even those almost non-existent risks.

there are alot of ppl on the train so you will be okay :) if i were you i would have someone walk me to the train and have your brother meet you when you get off the train so there is no chance of you being alone. I would be nerves too but if you do it that way, things will be fine. Noone is going to bug you with an audience :D and brothers are great to have around. Have a good visit :)

i'm 18 and travel back adn forth from philadelphia university and my home on a train alone. i havent had any major problems, but def don't go at night or anything like that. i dont think the shopping bag thing is that good of an idea, bring something that closes completly.

You should be okay but the guy saying it's "usually safe" must not ride the train.

I took a two-day trip once on the train and it was just awful. Every type of scumbag you can imagine. So be careful.
