More Vintage Amtrak TV Commercials

You hit the nail on that one Tony, It seems like congress' trying to pull a fast one on us by trying even harder to get gas for everybody's cars, I know of the ideas of hydrogen and electric cars, but those are just too rare and expensive to mass manufacture. Even though we'd like to just say "au revoir" to gas, but those oil companies just won't go down without a fight. Anyhow, I think that congress just try to fund Amtrak again so we won't have transport problems in the future.

I wish more money would go into Amtrak rather than automobiles.

@RedShadow1917 and airlines too!

Ok sure they say if amtrak waznt made then we wouldnt hav passenger train and yea i agree but i think that the government needs 2 get a grip. this crap needs 2 b ovr with. amtrak needs 2 b treated as fair as the car companies. its rediculous. Obama says we need high speed rai well guess wat y dont u do something its like indianapolis the stupid mayor thinks nobody would ride transit wat a moron im sick of amtrak being treated like shit som1 needs 2 speak up and soon b4 the amtrak we kno is gone.

This is terrific! Thanks for posting!

My favorite Amtrak commercial was "Take the A Train!" which showcased the Auto Train. The background music used was the Duke Ellington hit classic song of the same title.

maybe this congress will be more Train travel transit and Amtrak friendly

Seems more hopeful. Though I lean more conservative, I was very upset that the former president kept wanting to zero-out Amtrak funding and restructure it to short distance markets only. That was too extreme, especially since the public has been demanding increased service.

My opinion is that Amtrak and the railroads will never be able to compete with the ownership structure as it is. The other modes of transportation involve private vehicles run by private companies operating on publicly owned and maintained infrastructure, and rail should be done the same way.
