1. The airlines have made it extremely dangerous for pets to fly, so this is a smart competitive move.

2. Pet fare!

8. It is nationwide, and has been for several years

There are limits and pets are not permitted on some services. Amtrak has more information here:

Some stops on long distance trains are a half hour or more, so there is time to take Fido out for a short walk. I love traveling on Amtrak and while I haven't taken my cat, I appreciate their inclusive and friendly attitude toward our furry family members. Service animals are always welcome.

5. As pet friendly as we are in the NW this is good to see.

6. About time, but we have along way to go to catch up with Europe...

I think the COULD accommodate some larger (well trained) dogs, though.

7. I took a German Shepherd on the train once.

Of course, it was my service dog.

Allowing people to travel with their pets is a money making deal.

The only problem I see with pets is that a lot of the time they are not well trained.

Well, this is good and we will see how it goes.
