Fir SIBERIANMO <br />I share your frustrations with American Airlines. I go to the old country (United Kingdom) several times a year in my job as an oil and gas consultant. I have been riding on British Airways for several years rather than the local boys (American Airlines). Just got tired of the surly attitude even after paying $7,200 for a business class ticket. Since they have about 80% of the service out of DFW I am still forced to use them for domestic travel. Even at their worst they beat walking to Calgary. <br /> <br />Back to the purpose of this thread: <br /> <br />Several years ago my wife and I attended a joint APTA/CUTA/UITP convention in Toronto. At these conventions the host always plans a rail excursion for one day. Our excursion for this convention was a trip to Niagra Falls. We left Tronto station on a train consisting of 15 GO Transit Bombardier bilevel coaches. No problem boarding in Toronto as the station is quite large. After a beautiful ride to Niagra Falls Ontario disembarking was a little different. Niagra Falls has a small country style station with short platforms. Only 4 coaches could be at the platform at one time so the train was jogged four coaches at a time until everyone was off. We were on the last set of coaches to be unloaded. When I stepped off the train I looked down the track towards the engine. The engine and the first two coaches were across the international bridge and in the United States. Do not know what the customs boys did with this partial international crossing. The return was the same, only in reverse.
