[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="Ulrich"] Let's not forget about the elephant in the room, peoples' hygiene habits or lack therof. When you travel on any public conveyance your enjoyment is often much diminished by the bad habits of others, be it on the bus, train or aircraft.  <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] My 19 yr old son just took the Crescent from Atlanta to Phila.  They seated him next to a 20-something male who: Was high on something he smoked before boarding. Had a small dog in his backpack. Tried to snuggle in the middle of the night. He complained to the attendant about the "personal space" issue. The attendant just laughed. [/quote] When I was young, at least in Pennsylvania, each county had a county home.  It was for people who did not have it all together.  Unfortunately, most if not all of them were closed. Based on my experiences in coach on the Texas Eagle, which I only do between Taylor and Dallas, it appears that some of the folks who would have been housed in the country home are riding coach class on Amtrak's long distance trains.  Having said that, I have met some very nice people in the coaches on the Texas Eagle.  Unfortunately, it is the nut cases that stick in my mind.
