Stitching on a train?

I traveled on Amtrak across the border... they x-rayed my luggage (coming
into the USA) and I never had any problems bringing my scissors/stitching.
The most trouble I ever had was when I was trying to bring some new pliers
I'd bought to the USA for my boyfriend. (They wanted me to check the bag,
but finally just let me carry it because my stop did not have baggage check
available.)

Hi everybody! This is a little different than recent posts, so I
thought I would start a new subject.
In a month, I will be going on my honeymoon to Niagara Falls via
train. (I know, I will freeze my butt off ) The train trip is
about 7 hours each way, so you can bet I am bringing stitching. My
question is, does anybody know any restrictions on scissors/needles on
Amtrak trains? I just don't want a surprise at the train station with
nothing to do for 7 hours! I understand that since we do not leave
ground it is not nearly a big deal as flying, but I want to be
prepared, since they are seem to be very big sticklers about checking
luggage.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Maggie
