a specific, clearly marked, car on NE Amtrak trains where no cell phones, electronic devices are allowed to be used -- nm - moles Apr 12, 12:47 21
- I think it's just voice that's prohibited. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:13
- I want to go to there -- nm - con_carne on his next vacay Apr 12, 12:48 19

    - I know that cell-phone signal jammers are effective and inexpensive. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:00 17
      - I think it's also a federal crime to use one, now -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:13 1

        best typo of the week. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:18
        
        He mispoke. Amtrak says "Customers may not use any devices making noise.." -- (link) - mara Apr 12, 13:13
        
        my friend M takes taht car when she visits from NYC, and she emails and texts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:12 7
        
        [shrug] I have no idea what the actual policies are, I'm just going on what's written here. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:14 5
        
        M says there is plenty of shaming. When someone makes noise, the other passengers get pissed. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:15 4
        
        it's like a diogenes club on rails! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 13:17
        
        "get pissed at" is not the same thing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:17 2
        
        they take action. They ask them to leave. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:18 1
        
        Still missing the concept, but that's okay. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:21
        
        In fact, IIRC, she uses the free wifi on the train. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 13:13
      - ...so, either Amtrak or dawson needs to be a little proactive here. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 13:02
