Hey,this is interesting.  Looks like someone is trying to overcome all the air 
travel problems.  Sounds
positive and worth everyone having a voice on the matter.


Whats thoughts Stormy do you have on this?

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a comprehensive passenger train 
bill that in requires Amtrak to develop a pilot program that would, when 
feasible, designate at least one car where passengers may transport a dog or 
cat if the pet is in a kennel that can be stowed according to Amtrak’s 
requirements for carry-on baggage.
 
 Read AKC’s previous legislative alert for more information on this bill. 
 
HR 749 has now been assigned to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and 
Transportation.
 
AKC urges dog owners to support this measure and to contact your US Senators 
and ask them to support the Amtrak Pilot Program in HR 749 that would allow pet 
owners to travel on certain trains with their pets. 
 
Visit www.senate.gov and select your state under the “Find Your Senators” box 
at the top of the page to find the contact information for your senators.
