Conductor
I am in the early stages of planning a trip back to Florida from Chicago next Summer via the CL and SS. A family member who lives between Rocky Mount and Raleigh is interested in travelling on the train with me, but is only 14. Since I am 18, he should be able to go with me. However, he would technically be boarding the train alone, so would this present an issue? Booking a ticket is not an issue since the Amtrak website does not ask for age, but is it possible the employees at the station could prevent him from boarding? Also, which station is preferable? If boarding at Rocky Mount, we would not be able to meet until he is on the train, but I could mention the situation to the conductor before getting there. Since Raleigh is a stretch break, I could meet him on the platform, but access to the platform is restricted so he could have an issue getting that far.
