Amtrak lies

If you are taking a train from Brattleboro, Vermont, and you are worried that there is no long-term parking, and you call Amtrak to ask if there is long-term parking, they will tell you that there is.

They are lying.

If you show up to the train station and try to park in this alleged long-term parking, you will find that it does not exist. If you look dumb enough, and desperate enough, you will be permitted to leave your car in short-term parking for four days, although the station attendant will shake his head at you disgustedly, and your car may well be covered with snow when you get back.

Also, this strategy is probably successful on a first-come, first-served basis.
