Be carefull and do it as often as you think it's all right. <br />I got a chance one day in Oct. '99 in Portland, OR, when I was on the way from Seattle to San F. in the Coast Starlight. I took some pictures from the leading new Amtrak engine (GE 42?), while they changed the cabin crew. The new engenieer saw me, and I think without a long time thinking he invited me for a short visit in the cabin. It was one of the biggest moments in that vacations. <br />In a special reason it was very interesting, because a year before a friend of me invited me on a saturday afternoon 4-hours-round-trip on german railroad freight train. He said: On saturday is less traffic and therefor less coleagues. And the few we met when changing the train for way back, he anounced me as an union man, who want to look for some special working conditions in the cabin. <br />Because I saw working in a german engine cabin, I could understand a little from working in an Amtrak, as far as I could as an intrested layman. <br />I like people breaking the rules for the right reasons. I hope you'll do it when we meet one day.
