Sam White, a conductor for Amtrak, a national rail passenger corporation, has been traveling by train for more than seven years. She shared her tips on what you should definitely take with you on the road.

According to Insider, White has narrowed down her packing list to a few essentials. Below is the list.

Backpack

It's good for storing all your personal belongings, and you don't need to check in your hand luggage.

Neck pillow and blanket

Since sleep is essential on long trips, you should think about how you can make it comfortable. A neck pillow will make it easier to fall asleep even in a strange and uncomfortable place.

Water bottle

It is better to take a bottle with thermal insulation because it will keep the water temperature much longer than a plastic one, which is very convenient when you are traveling by train on a very long trip.

Snacks.

You can not only save money but also your health.

Chewing gum

This is in case there are long lines to the restroom and you don't have time to brush your teeth.

Headphones

This way you can isolate yourself from the noise and fall asleep peacefully.

Chargers

You always need to be in touch while traveling. Therefore, gadgets must be in your backpack.
