Re: [CBQ] Shipping human remains by rail

[Cy Svobodny <ctsvobodny@yahoo.com>]

Additional AMTRAK remains info.     If you are a railroad employee with a pass 
your remains can be shipped using the pass (AMTRAK employees are basically 
free, while other RR employees are 1/2 price off home road and free on home 
road)..   This also applys to retirees.   A passenger who dies enroute can be 
returnef using their return ticket as payment. I have been retired for nearly 5 
years. but, I believe the rulles have not changed.   A friend of mine was dying 
of cancer but wanted a last train ride, died enroute and came home in a box 
using his return ticket as payment.   And a BN firemen died on vacation and 
returned to the Twin Cities using his pass as payment.   Both cases saved the 
family some expense.   I also know of several old friends who made their last 
rides on a streetcar and Light-rail as cremated ashes.
