Train Attendant
Well when I get back home I'll write up a full trip report but here are a few thoughts before then.
2 hours late into PDX.
The arcade car is a rip off. 50 cents a game, 2 of the 4 games didn't even work. It became more of a hangout place for the kids. The only good thing about it was my daughter could go down there and spread out her drawing stuff on the floor and have room.
The food was so-so.
Starting at about 4 or 5am, we started to notice the smell of sewage in the back car where we were. It only got worse as it got hotter outside. The conductor basically told us tough s$#t and deal with it. The coach attendant in our car though was great I will say. It was his first trip and he was doing everything he could to make us happy. He did relocate those of us at the front of the car who had to deal with the smell the longest, even giving up his seat in the back of the car for passengers. He spent the run from Eugene to Portland sitting on a footrest in the back of the car.
