Bronzeman
Train Attendant
Our adult son will be taking the Silver Star from Raleigh to visit his cousin his cousin in Tampa.
Unfortunately he has CP in his legs. He can get by (albeit slowly) with a walker for distances under a hundred feet or so; anything longer requires a wheelchair.
He will be in a Roomette both ways. If he were to get on with his walker would there be space somewhere (the end of the car perhaps) to sore his wheelchair. It is the usual manual type on which the sides fold together for storage. I don’t think it would fit in the Roomette.
Assuming that’s not possible, can wheelchairs be checked as baggage. We do not have a box for it.
