    Can they not unlock the cases while on board?

      I’ve never been on an Amtrack, but I assume it’s like a Greyhound or an airplane, where things like gun cases are checked and not available to passengers during the trip.

        Incorrect. Luggage is generally not checked on Amtrak.

          OK, but you can at least understand as an American I have never been on a train ;-)

            In that case, consider that your uninformed spicy takes aren’t strictly necessary.

                Not that it’s relevant, but more than zero.

                Go back under your bridge.
