NEW ORLEANS - Amtrak’s no trespassing policy came into sharp focus last month when a passenger on the eastbound Sunset Limited got off the train in New Orleans Saturday, August 19 ...


Hmmm - the reporter of the story lost all credibility with me.

There was no Saturday, August 19th in 2005!

Hmmmmmm. Perhaps an urban legend? There has been several urban legends that have been published in "respectable" media outlets that have later turned out to be revealed. Could this perhaps be one of them?
It seems that two senatorial candidates even debated an urban legend.

Hmm...............You're right! It was the 20th! This story is obviously fake, made up to make all railfans angry! To what end? Nobody knows.....
Maybe the reporter should do even a tiny bit of research to figure out the facts, at least what day it is..
