[nagdu] guide dog and train

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Jeff.
I've taken Amtrak occasionally, but never for such a long trip.  I like the 
train; I have a lot more space than I do on a plane, and I can get up and 
stroll to the cafe car if I feel like moving around a bit.
Can you find out if there will be stops long enough for you to get your dog 
out to relieve?  In my experience, most stops are very short, but some in 
bigger towns are 15-20 minutes, which should be enough time to find a 
relieving spot.
Can your dog go on any available surface, or will he require grass?
If you think you'll need help finding a spot for him, maybe you should let 
Amtrak know.
Tracy
