Very interesting, Lorie. I found another effect of mucking around with Amtrak.com today. I'm now unable to launch Chrome Canary on my Android. It tries to access the last page I viewed on the web site and crashes. There doesn't appear to be a way to clear the cache, or to tell it not to access that page. I submitted a but report.
Amtrak is making me mad! <grin> Aren't they supposed to conform to ADA requirements? Doesn't look like the web team got the memo about that.
