    Do you carry a scanner to listen to Amtrak radio chit chat?

    Most can be modded to TX any where near the ham bands . It's not legal to USE the freqs unless its a emergncy . Hams for the most part are self concious that they wont go outta band . IMO I rather my self learn the band limits then have a radio block me in time of dire need.

    Las Vegas bus service dropoff?

    you miss the point i was making ... the people ... I never mentioned the bus hardware . I could care less how nice the bus is short of a 300 Grand RV if the folks at the counter are acting like they are from pluto . Amtrak and every one BUT the airlines are making a mess of folks whom...

    Accessible Bedroom USE

    The ADA in most cases uses a scale of proof . Let me cite the issue with moliltuy devices . In lay terms . If you have a leg missing Or have a walker Or some other obvious thing with you . then that IS your proof to a extent . but for more hidden things like my nuropathy Often...

    hence the Lite Idea...... the coach car atendent would be doing the look out . she or he would tell pax to put the big one down below and the normal carry on's on top . Its not ment to be checked but just a way to not penalize the folks whom are not at a major station . ] Its just...

    Carry on size enforcement

    the issue with spotting IS a problem and short platforms are gonna be a issue . did not think of that one .... but let me put it this way . I know I could * toss* my bags up on a train and then make it to a Pax car . I have a theory . the superliners have those awfull narrwow stairs...

    Carry on size enforcement

    I dont understand how hard it is to toss bags in to the bag car . Have one of the employees rotate to open the beast up and hand bags out . AND Have them pre sort them as they go on and off . There is time in between stops to have a employee go in from the Trans dorm and " prep" for...
