Was it in the boonies? I guess they could have gotten out and walked, so, not hostages.
“ABC News reported that the Auto Train in question...”
This is a train that carries the passengers vehicles also, so when they get to destination they can drive.
I imagine most wouldn’t want to leave their car behind.
Leave the train and you probably forfeit you car on the train.
If you walk off that train, there’s a catch.
Your auto is being moved via that train to Florida..
So, you would need to rent a car to drive to Florida and retrieve your auto as it’s on the same train as you..
I believe the only passengers allowed on the ‘Auto train’ are those who have their autos being transported by said train.
No. Trains a lot like airplanes. It’s too “risky” for you to be let out. Happened to me a few times, commuter and Amtrak. You might trip and twist your ankle.
I figure there have to be safety NAZI fed laws in place making them keep you hostage.
It's smart to check first though, otherwise you may get shot when you leave.
I think the closest town was Denmark, SC so yeah smack dab in the middle of nowhere
