After hosting a dear friend from college who’s traveling on an Amtrak USA railpass this month, I’m happy to see this news. In fact when I told my workmates about my friend’s epic journey to Glacier National Park, now they want to try it too… just not without using Amtrak’s horrible reservations system, “Arrow.” Maybe an improvement to one of our tools sometime next year will make it easier to book the occasional business traveler.
That said, I’m a rail fan, and I really wish the US hadn’t turned its passenger rail systems into a few tourist routes and a lot of memories, songs, and rust.
Amtrak chugs along nicely to record ridership – USATODAY.com.
