Date: 05/09/22 07:34 Re: Finally - private cars moving in LA! Author: tonymarchiando Platform riding was banned in 2018, during Richard Anderson's reign as Amtrak president.
Donald Trump was US President then, but I'm certain he had nothing to do with it, neither does Biden. Tony Date: 05/10/22 10:44 Re: Finally - private cars moving in LA! Author: 4451Puff aronco Wrote:

With open platforms now off-limits, I have zero desire to now. The food & the view out the back may be better, but it doesn't justify the extra expences, at least for my budget.
