I don't know what the correct term is, but non-mentally handicap would do such a thing
I shouldn't have used the word weird. I was sleeping during most of the trip but from what I was told this lady was talkign to herself and going to down the aisle a lot. Almost anyone that would do that would have to have a mental handicap. If that was the case why did Amtrak allow her to board and why did her family allow her to go on a trip alone.

And in all fairness to the employees, I can certinaly understand them not wanting to clean up the mess. I fly at least twice a month, and I take VIA rail on a similar length trip 4 to 5 times a year between windsor and toronto and have never experienced anything this disturbing in all the years I have been travelling.
