Yup, be careful not to let the outsides of the gloves touch your hands. And wash hands thoroughly afterwards. And before.
Practice distancing at the Sanford station - my understanding is they have some special outdoor seating set up to allow for some extra distancing. If you have any sanitizing wipes, wipe common touch surfaces if possible in your room before touching. Stay in your sleeper room as much of the journey as possible and I might consider avoiding the shared beverage coffee station in your car if you can go without it - bring your own snacks/beverages if you want to avoid the lounge car and accept your dinner from the dining car in your room (which I think they're doing for everyone right now.) When you get to Lorton again practice distancing at the station and if you can wipe down surfaces the loading/unloading crew may have touched when you get your vehicle - steering wheel, shifting lever/column, seatbelt and seatbelt latch, door latches, window buttons, etc. And lastly, when you return home to Syracuse, self quarantine for 14 days.
171 and 176 (formerly Lynchburgers) is back since Monday. They were running the weekend schedule for a couple of weeks.
Good tip. Maybe I'll get a pair of Boxing Gloves to avoid touching face.
Hope you're right about Sanford Special Seating. Have called the stations about Health concerns, but no one picks up!! I'll be in my Power WC but that wouldn't help my wife. unless I drive her around on my lap. Headed outside when we get there. Paid extra for first cars off at Lorton and will spray down inside. Six hour drive back to Syracuse with as few stops as possible. 14 days will be a picnic, being at HOME. Thanks.
No, take the first glove off by catching the OUTSIDE wrist section of the first glove with the finger of your other still gloved hand and pulling. Then use a finger from your now free hand to dip inside the wrist section of the other glove to pull that one off.
Happily, gloves make the hands smell bad, so that is extra incentive to wash the hands after removing the gloves.
The Daleks would probably brag....Blaming Covid-19 on the Daleks makes slightly more sense than blaming it on 5G cell phone towers . . .
You take the first one off by grabbing the outside of the other one near the wrist. You take the second one off by slipping the now-bare hand under the glove so you are between the inside of the glove and your gloved hand then just pull it off so it is inside out.
You could try asking the call center (1800 USA RAIL) to see if they know, but I have heard at least one first hand report mentioning that they have made some provisions at Sanford to spread out where people are waiting with some covered seating areas outside or something along those lines.
Maybe to discourage non-essential travel?? Maybe to not lose any more money than they already have??
I saw a very late Silver Meteor 98 come through Orlando this evening. Consist was one engine (maybe because one got damaged in the accident with a vehicle in South Florida this morning), 2 coaches, cafe car, sleeper lounge, 2 sleepers, baggage.
2 Sleepers???
There are usually 3 sleepers on the Meteor.
Thanks, forgot about that!
