Amtrak Pilot Program for Pets

Just got an email today that Amtrak is testing out allowing pets on certain trains.

no more pilot ptogram - Amtrak now accepts pets!

This apparently was successful, and Amtrak now accepts smaller pets in carriers as a regular service on many routes for a $25 fee.

Restrictions:
- max. weight 20 pounds combined, max. carrier dimensions 19" by 14" by 10.5".
- one pet per passenger
- Coach class only (not in sleeper cars etc...)
- maximum trip duration: seven hours

See details at https://www.amtrak.com/pets
