I used to ride AMTRAK when they had SMOKING cars (maybe that was England, can't recall) and in England, you could buy booze in the smoking car.
IDK. But, I mean, it's Amtrak. I don't think (based on my fervent love of trains and trains disaster movies) that a battery is gonna explode, it's not like they CHECK your luggage so much DO they? I guess things may have changed.
My impression of trains is most people find them so low rent, they don't do exhaustive baggage searches. That may have changed. IDK.
It's Amtrak. Vape. The worst that will happen is they will tell you to knock it off, and like, they won't be pleasant but they won't throw you off the train. If like, you want you could use the restroom, or the tiny walkway between carriages to vape. That might be an EXCITING vape..
Have I mentioned how I love trains? I love them. I used to go Philly-Baltimore all the time from college until I got a car. I don't remember extreme discomfort, at least at first.
I DO remember jumping out (later in my train time) at stations so I could smoke, maybe the smoking care went away. I was always more concerned about finishing my cigarette before the train left than stealth.
With that said, things may have changed. But, it's AMTRAK. If I were still a smoker om a train, I might try to stealth SMOKE.
Just approach it with wild abandon. Report back! I am fairly sure ti won't be from jail.
Good luck have fun RIDING the RAILS, the form of transportation that y may have WON if some government/president type had not decided that the military needed the best roads to drive their TANKS everywhere.
