I have an interesting story about riding in coach and drinking on board.  In early 1978, I was returning from Eugene to Boston by train, and rode the National Limited from Kansas City to New York.  There was a group of military inductees heading for basic training with which I spent part of the evening socialising.  After I retired, the train hit a car and was stopped for a while.  Apparently some of the guys I was hanging out with got off the train and stole a case of beer.  Later that night, in a large city station (the identity of which I am not certain), Military Police apprehended the entire gang.  I'm lucky I wasn't part of that late night party!
