She had her compartment door open when I walked by and I noticed her dog was not in a kennel and walking on the bed. In addition, the conductor had to ask her to keep the dog on the floor when she was in the dining car. Sounds like an abuse of the "emotional support" clause.
However there was also a time when one could bring kennels on as carry-ons as I do remember those items in the overhead rack on the Northeast Corridor trains. Obviously, that's been "outlawed."

Sorry I thought they changed that policy or something. I thought that the service animals were only allowed in the lower coach seats and the Accesable bedrooms.
She sounds like she got away with alot of things on the train. I can't believe they let her in the dining car with the dog. I know Amtrak does have seat service for people who can't get to the dining car. She sounds like something else...she musta throw some fits or something.
On a airline she would be thrown off...LOL
