Service Attendant
On Saturday, August 2nd I'll be heading up north to Connecticut and probably beyond, as I posted a few days ago. There's no way I can afford a sleeper all the way to New York, especially by booking as late as I did (3 days ago), so I'll be in coach for 26 hours from DFB-NYP on the Meteor and then another hour and a half on Acela to New Haven. That's a long time to be constantly around people and without a shower! I noticed in several trips in sleeprs that although it's for a very short while, sleeper attendants do in fact sleep for a little while. And conductors can be in the bathroom or in their office or too busy with radio transmissions to pay attention to their surroundings for a few minutes. Does anybody think it's possible to get up at say 3 or 4 AM, sneak through the diner, and into the public shower for a few minutes without being thrown out? I have to do something new and interesting on every train trip I go on, and this idea just happens to be convenient too!
