i'm honestly a little scared by this. 

during COVID they cut the Amtrak service in half, which was really unnecessary IMO, and they removed all the Sightseer lounges. there are things that the government wastes money on, but not on the SIGHTSEER LOUNGE car of the Texas Eagle.

the last time i was on the train, there was a fight because a woman had only had coffee to drink (and they weren't allowing plebians into the dining car) since Little Rock Arkansas, so they stopped the whole train in Dallas to kick her out as well as the people that she punched.
