Here is how I manage traveling when taking the train I hope this helps. First, I typically travel with my guy dog Guiding on my left side I sometimes wear a backpack and on my right shoulder I carry my breathing machine behind me I pull my suitcase
If I am traveling in an unfamiliar train station I will except sighted assistance I ask the person to walk a little bit ahead of me on my right hand side and to tell me where here she is turning. If they offer to carry one of my bags I accept. Remember, these individuals make their living helping individuals be sure to tip these individuals.

You're welcome Kammerman. I have a question for you and you all. How can I manage my cane as well as luggage and baggage and also manage to board the train? I mean what do I give up? I have to be able to carry my cane in one hand, and that takes up one hand. I also have to be able to hold the rail of the train in the other. That takes up another where do I get a third hand? I mean, when I went to the national convention, people in West Palm Beach, Florida, were very helpful, but not everybody is like that. They helped me manage my bag and put it in the overhead and put it on board for me. Compare that with the conductor on Saturday evening it is a day and night difference. The conductor on Saturday on the train ride home, he was in oblivion to what was going on around him either that or he did not give a darn about people with disabilities. I mean, I almost fell and I'm sure everyone around me could hear me yell except for the conductor.

>>>> Dear Fellow Federationists:
>>>>
>>>> Thank you for all of your calls and emails since
>>>> the last legislative alert. We are now up to
>>>> thirty-four cosponsors on AIM HIGH, H.R. 1772,
>>>> ten cosponsors on the Access Technology
>>>> Affordability Act, H.R. 1734, and twelve
>>>> cosponsors on the TIME Act, H.R. 1377. In the
>>>> Senate, the Access Technology Affordability Act,
>>>> S. 732, has one cosponsor. The complete list of
>>>> cosponsors is included at the end of this email.
>>>>
>>>> The House of Representatives adjourned on July 28
>>>> and will not return to Washington, DC until
>>>> September 5. The Senate is still in session and
>>>> will not adjourn until August 11. The Senate will
>>>> then also return on September 5.
>>>>
>>>> I have two recommendations. First, call your
>>>> Senator immediately and ask him or her to
>>>> cosponsor S. 732, the Access Technology
>>>> Affordability Act. It would be terrific if we
>>>> could grow the number of cosponsors before the
>>>> Senate adjourns on August 11. Second, invite your
>>>> member of Congress to attend a chapter meeting or
>>>> other local NFB event while they are in the
>>>> district. Alternately, you could ask to meet with
>>>> them in their district office.
>>>>
>>>> I also want to update you on H.R. 620, the ADA
>>>> Education and Reform Act. Your calls and emails
>>>> have significantly helped in this area. In
>>>> addition President Riccobono wrote an
