You can bring the liquor on but technically you cannot consume private stash outside of your Sleeper compartment.Curious, do they search coolers before bringing them on? Reason I ask. I plan on bringing some moonshine, wondering if there would be any issues.
The 2 times I rode coach, most people "seemed" to carry their "adult" becerages in plastic Coke / 7-Up / water bottles and were never questioned.Curious, do they search coolers before bringing them on? Reason I ask. I plan on bringing some moonshine, wondering if there would be any issues.
Car DiagramsOkay that makes sense. I ordered my tickets today. Room D and E in the bedroom. Are those the two closest to the end? Or the beginning?
the step stool is super heavy weight steel. No problem with it at all. Going into Chicago, if you are on a viewliner, you will have the train stairs.I assume no one has had problems with the little step stools to get on the train? I guess that's the only thing left that has me paranoid a bit.
When I was in CHI on Tuesday, they had the Amtrak police dogs going thru the waiting area every hour or so. But that is about all the security there is. Amtrak police are usually visible but not intrusive.What about security with trains? Should I get to the train station a certain amount of time early for searches and stuff (I assume they are like airports?)?
don't worry about luggage, on every one of the trains I was just on in the last two weeks at least one passenger had four very large suitcases with them and each time they had to get back on to get the other luggage when we got to their stops.Can someone break down the whole baggage deal for me. It's one of the things confusing me so far.
Looks like they want smaller handbag style as "carry on" versus typical suitcase carry on. Is this right? Or does that change being I have two sleeper cars? If so, what about when I get in California and will be in coach? Do I have to check those bags in there?
Thanks. Looked for something like that and didn't come up with anything :hi: I guess even though they are indeed in the "middle," they are the first two after getting off the stairs? Or I guess, going up the stairs. Thanks again.Car DiagramsOkay that makes sense. I ordered my tickets today. Room D and E in the bedroom. Are those the two closest to the end? Or the beginning?
Not all of the superliner coach cars have a handicapped restroom I found out on my EB trip two weeks ago. I had seats upstairs and was in a car with no lower level seats, I think they are coach/baggage cars? Anyway, there was no handicapped restroom and I had to go to the car in front of ours to use the larger bathroom as there was no way with my limited mobility I was going to be able to use the regular ones. So if you need the larger room, make sure you know which car has the handicapped restroom in coach, not all of the superliners do.In Superliner coach cars the Handicapped restroom is on the right of the right entrance door. The other restrooms are right and left of a hallway. To the left of the door is the heavy luggage storage and the handicapped lower level seating. To the right of the door to the lower level seating is the bottom of the spiral stairway to the upper level coach seats.If you are sitting in the lower level coach seats, a member of the staff will provide a menu and get you meals if you have trouble getting up and down the steps. Please tip if you do this.
