Amtrak Police

[Howard Campe]

I read a thread on another site that said Amtrak Police were being moved from stations to trains because of increased onboard crime. Does anybody know what kind of crime is going on?

That is a good question, as I've never thought crime was a big problem on Amtrak trains. The worst I've ever noticed in VERY rare cases, were unruly passengers getting kicked off the train at random stops. Probably due to violating the no drinking policy if you're at your coach seat, or being annoying to other passengers. Of course I'm aware drinking is allowed, if you're inside your own sleeping car room and upgraded to that.
