"Yet you all wonder why I defend Amtrak so much"

We grew up in Rochester, NY. My Dad was a Track Foreman for the NY Central Railroad. We didn't have a car, and my father had a pass for the family to ride the train for free. We'd visit friends for a weekend, take a ride to Buffalo and go to the zoo, get back on the train the same day and ride to Niagara Falls, and once a year on Labor Day, we'd ride to Syracuse to go to the State Fair. My brother and I were the youngest of the family, and my parents would take us to NY City for a weekend every once-in-a-while. We thought it was the cat's meow, and service on the train back then was much better than it is today. Every train had a dining car. The last time I took Amtrak from Rome, NY to New York City was around 2006, and the only thing they had was vending machines. Today, you can't even get a train from Rome to NY City anymore.

So why did they deny his check-in? I’m not going to watch a 10 minute Youtube video just to find out.

I rode Amtrak coast to coast a couple of decades ago - from Reno, NV to
30th Street station in Philadelphia on the California Zephyr and Three Rivers trains
(took three days). It is an experience every American should have -
once, and only once. You meet many interesting and just plain weird
people on long-haul Amtrak trips, really.

If this is what air travel is like now, I have no desire to fly anywhere.

I have a business trip to Alabama in June and I live in NH. I’ll be driving and pay for my own hotel room half way down there and back.
