has there ever been a passenger train with seatbelts

@codl yes, as we recall Amtrak trains have seatbelts standard

riding in one is basically the same experience to flying in an airplane, except you actually have more than a cubic foot of space to occupy

@Felthry hmm i found talk of a debate around seatbelts on trains after an amtrak train derailed in 2015 but i dont see anything about them actually adding seatbelts

@codl we remember wearing one, at least! though it could be a misremembering

@Felthry it could also be that people aren't keen on writing about train seatbelts on the internet, or that i'm not using the right search terms :blobfoxmlem:
