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

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