MilesBuzz! - amtrak and pets??ct to fl with dog

does anyone know if amtrak allows pets....maybe there is a way to crate them...i have got to get to florida from ct. ...with my dog...he is too old to freight up and put on plane...driving is an alternative, but not one that thrills me..any ideas??

I'm going to go ahead and move this post over to the Amtrak forum (http://www.flyertalk.com/forumcgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=AMTRAK&number=136&DaysPrune=5&LastLogin=) since it isn't really <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Discussion of the latest frequent flyer program buzz... </font>
