[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bob: [QB] Dogs onboard, even the "legit" ones can be a handful for a train crew...I recall a passenger who had a big "service" dog for his PTSD from a war. Even though he was told to stay close when he gave the dog a "business" break at Raton, NM on a #4, he nonchalantly set the dog free and it roamed about a half mile from the train. The conductor went ballistic about it and we ended up with an unecessary delay of an ontime train. As to service animals of questionable legitimacy, I've seen "service" cats, rats, ducks, raccoons and ferrets, just to name a few in the "Dr. Doolittle's animal wonderland" that was Amtrak during my service time. The craziest critters were what a vet school grad student once had aboard a #11; just before detraining at Davis (CA) he showed me his special carrying case full of tiny, colorful venemous South American snakes! He was doing some toxicology studies. Personally I am thinking of getting one of those new "micropigs" that are now all the rage in Hollywood among the starlets; they are about the size of a teacup chihuahua. Of course, it would be my "service" pig...and would make a nice companion to Mr. Norman's Newfoundland. Where is Elly Mae Clampett when we need her...! [/QB][/QUOTE]
