- -=Fun With AmTrak=-
- by The PBX Phreak (pbxphreak@unixnet.org)
-
- Hello b0yz and g1rls. Just sit back and relax, fasten your seatbelt and
- enjoy the ride, because after reading this you will be able to do exactly
- that. VIA Amtrak.
-
- I am from Canada and on a recent trip to the US I used this method on a
- regular basis. This actually has been one of my many experiences. This is
- not made up.
-
- What You Need to Use
-
- - Your bag packed full of your stuff
- - Full info credit card
- - Payphone or a cloned cell phone
- - Deep voice (not those pussy voices you hear on c0nfz)
-
-
- If you don't gno where to get credit cards, here are a few places:
-
-
- - Hack into p0rn sites and grab the database (if you can haxor)
- - Trashing
- - Stealing cardz from yer parents
- - Stealing someones purse on the Sub-Way
-
-
- After you got yerself a full info credit card, you are all set.
-
- Typical Telephone Conversation
-
- You: DIAL 1-800-USA-RAIL
- Oper: Hello, AmTrak, how can I help you?
- You: Yes, My cousin has lost his ID, and he is stranded, I need to order him a
- ticket. Is this possible.
- Oper: Yes, this is called a prepaid ticket.
- You: Ok, I would like to do that then.
- Oper: Where is he located at?
- You: He is in Dallas, Texas.
- Oper: Ok. Where does he want to travel too.
- You: Home of course, which is in Tampa, Florida
- Oper: Ok, There is a train leaving at 1:30pm, is that ok?
- You: Yes that is fine. What is the one way fair?
- Oper: $119.28 is the one way fair.
- You: That's great.
- Oper: Now, that is all settled, I need the passenger's name.
- You: Nathan Winters (made up name)
- Oper: You said he lost his ID, well we can put a password on the ticket. He
- will just have to give the agent the password when he goes and picks up the
- ticket.
- You: I guess the password will be "cheese", do you accept Mastercard?
- Oper: Thank you, that will be his password, and yes we do accept Mastercard,
- what is the card #?
- You: 5371-2881-0191-7882 and that expires in 03/98
- Oper: Thank you, sir. Remember to tell him to be at the terminal 1 hour before
- his train leaves. So he should be there at 12:30 for his 1:30 train.
- You: Thank you for your help.
- Oper: Thank you for Choosing AmTrak.
-
- Now that you have done all that.. All you have to do is walk up to the counter
- at the AmTrak station and say "I have a ticket waiting for me," and be sure to
- tell them the password. They will print up the ticket, and you're all set.
- REMEMBER. ENJOY THE RIDE!!.
-
- Anything could happen while yer on the trip, free food, hotel, train crash,
- you name it.. anything.. well Have Phun.
-
- You could also order a room on the train. But make sure you have enough credit
- on the card. I never ordered the room, but you can try. Anything is possible
- when on AmTrak.
-
- True Story
- On one of my trips on AmTrak a funny thing happened. At the time I was in
- San Jose, California. I got a ticket from San Jose to Schofield, Wisconsin.
- But there was a problem, we were delayed on the track for 2 and a half hours
- becuase of this we all missed our connecting train from Portland, Oregon to
- Wisconsin. The next train for Wisconsin wasn't going to leave for another
- 2 nights. So AmTrak paid for my meals and hotel for 2 nights, so you never
- gno what yer getting into.
-
- Conclusion
- I used this method a lot while I was in the US. So I wouldn't be so suprised
- if this method dies, After me explaining this to all the world. Or whoever
- is reading this article, and remember, THANK YOU FOR ABUSING AMTRAK!
