Amtrak no longer accepts travelers cheques. I used to use them for all my trips in my early traveling years.

With the proliferation of credit cards, debit cards, ATM's, etc., the travelers check has pretty much become obsolete.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
