I called Amtrak and they said due to COVID, certain trains may not be allowing checked baggage at this time.I wonder what it is about putting a bag into or out of a baggage car can't be done "because of COVID". It has become the new standard excuse for a business or agency to not do what they really didn't want to do anyway. My wife calls it the new "the dog ate my homework", you know when kids at school would have a lame excuse when the real reason was they didn't feel like doing it.
Admittedly there might be a good reason but I'm darned if I can think of one.
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the determination that some things are more important than fear.
