[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Times sure have changed regarding the credentials of service animals! The last time I saw a non-service dog aboard a train was in the mid-'90s, when I spotted a pretty young lady (high school age, I'd say) with a blanket in her lap. Suddenly a tiny tail thrust out from the blanket and wagged. She tried to hide it, but saw that I was watching. "Shhh," she said. "But the conductor knows." She had got on the westbound Zephyr at Glenwood Springs and was going to the next stop, Grand Junction. A little later I saw the conductor, winked, and said, "Woof woof." He stared at me. "Cute dog in the next car," I said. "No dogs on MY trains!" he replied indignantly. Later, after girl and dog had gotten off at Grand Junction, the conductor came by. "I put her off at the next stop," he said with a virtuous expression. "What was I supposed to do, stop the train and put her off in the middle of nowhere?" Much later I learned that the girl -- and her dog -- were regulars on the Zephyr between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. And that the operating crew always did its duty, obeyed the regulations and put her off at the next stop. [/QB][/QUOTE]
