<p>[quote user="aegrotatio"]</p> <p>I left on a noontime Northeast Regional and the restrooms were filthy before the first stop.</p> <p>Do they bother cleaning restrooms between runs?</p> <p>Seems to me this trainset should have been. It was starting at noon from the terminal.</p> <p>I do like the free water dispensers, though.[/quote]</p> <p>Several weeks ago I rode the Pennsylvanian from Pittsburgh to New York. I was in business class. The restrooms and toilets, at least in business class, were squeaking clean leaving the Iron City. But somewhere along the line a passenger stopped up one of the toilets with paper towels. I brought the issue to the attention of the conductor. At Harrisburg a maintenance crew boarded the train and cleared the problem.</p> <p>It is not just the trains in America. Most of the public restrooms open to the general public in this country tend to be dirty. Too many Americans seem to think that public restrooms and toilets are depositories for anything that they want to throw away. In contrast, when I lived in Australia, I found that the public toilets (they don't call them restrooms), including those on the trains, were much cleaner. And much easier to find, especially in the large cities. </p>
