I think if you can, sit on the left side of the train for the best mountain views. I missed some great photo ops sitting on the right!

Bring a light jacket, even in summer. The air conditioning can be pretty chilly once the train gets moving, and you might regret not having it.

I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes prior to your departure time. The smaller train station can get crowded and you don't want to miss your train!

I suggest booking your tickets online ahead of time, it saves you a ton of time waiting in line. Plus, they often have discounts for online purchases which is a nice bonus!
