What happens if you sit in a car other than the one where the conductor told you to sit?
I recently took the Palmetto on a short Northeast Corridor trip. When I was boarding, the conductor standing at an entrance asked where I was traveling to and then pointed a few cars down, to the Amfleet Is that I guess are for short-distance passengers.
I wanted to sit in an Amfleet II. (Bigger Windows and more legroom.) My trip was so short that I am sure that the car wouldn't have been full. I know that Amfleet IIs have manual doors so I would have walked to an Amfleet I to get off.
I knew what I was doing, would have gotten off fine and wouldn't have displaced anyone from the long-distance car, but I followed the conductor's order.
What would have happened if I had moved to another car and sat where I wanted o sit?
Thanks.
