Answer 2

Yup.

They can accommodate wheel chairs for those who are not ambulatory as well.

Climb aboard!

Answer 3

I don't think there going to know unless you tell, it's not their policy to ask you, hows your health..

Answer 4

Yes, and its safer than you driving.

Answer 5

As far as I know, there's no heath policy.  

For your reference, I understand that if a passenger complains of a major health problem while on a train, the Amtrak conductor will radio ahead to the next community and ask that an ambulance be waiting at a station, or if closer, at a major road intersection.  There's some emergency gear on board the trains, I believe, but if there's an emergency you want to be treated by a doctor, not by a conductor or a train attendant.

The bottom line always is "Is this a smart thing to do?  What would my doctor advise?"  If the answer is that you shouldn't do the trip, don't!
