Interesting idea. I have been considering taking the Amtrak to visit family. Being able to travel with the Segway would be a strong selling point for taking the rail. Then again, I've been a wheelchair user for the last 15-years, so I have no idea how I'd fare going Seg-only when travelling from home. Guess there's only one way to find out. This fall, I will be travelling with both. So, maybe I'll get a good idea.

Is there a way you guys could take a short "test-trip" to see if they get the green light? The only time I've taken the Amtrak from here, the train was nearly empty (and the ticket was only $19). I can't imagine that there would be much fuss if there is plenty of space available on the car you're in. Are there AC outlets in the cars that can be used for charging? I didn't look for any the time I rode. With a little planning ahead, I think I might be able to go on some pretty cool trips via Amtrak and Segway. Great idea!
