Where does Al get the energy?  He was all fired up at 6:20am when he joined us from Washington to talk about National Train Day.  Talking faster than a bullet train and even making the sound of the “Texas Eagle”, still he told our producer Reginald Hardwick that he didn’t have a single cup of coffee this morning. 

If you’re travelling this summer — here are some more reasons to think about taking the train (as if $3.60 gas isn’t enough!)…..

AMTRAK STATISTICS:

Over 25.8 million passengers traveled on Amtrak in 2007: the biggest number of passengers since Amtrak began operation in 1971.

 

n 2008, Amtrak travel is already up 11% from the previous year with 7 million passengers in the first fiscal quarter.
Amtrak is the most energy-efficient form of travel; 17% more efficient than domestic air travel and 21% more efficient than auto travel.
