"Accounts differ as to the volume of Christie’s voice and his demeanor
on the Washington,
D.C.-to-New Jersey ride after an appearance on “Face
the Nation,” CNN reported, but it appears he was talking on his cellphone, which is a no-no on the quiet car.
In such environs, Amtrak rules that passengers “are asked to limit conversation and speak in subdued tones. Phone calls are not allowed and all portable electronic devices must be muted or used with headphones (passengers using headphones must keep the volume low enough so that the audio cannot be heard by other passengers.)”
Passenger Alexander Mann emailed CNN his account with photos, saying Christie entered the quiet car with a McDonald’s strawberry smoothie while getting testy with someone he was with about a seating mix-up.
“The details of the conversation were unclear but it was definitely some sort of work phone call,” Mann recounted to CNN. “This went on for 5-10 minutes until the conductor, prompted by passenger complaints, asked him to stop using his cell phone or leave the car. He again started yelling at his security detail and huffed off to another train car. He kept repeating ‘frickin’ ridiculous’ and ‘Seriously?! Seriously?!’” TheBlaze
