Was watching a video of a cab ride on the Amtrak California Zephyr in 1993. The train is on the final leg a few hours out of Oakland, and the Amtrak trainman sitting on the left says this:
"Since we do have the last part of the leg, and this train normally does run late coming cross country, we try to avoid the passengers once we get into Oakland, because too many of them think that we're the guilty party from, all the way from Chicago (laughs)."
