Amtrak's budget for ... ( 5 months ago by ACLTony)
Amtrak's budget for tv/video advertising is very small, which is why we don't see as many like we did back in the 1970s-80s. My favorite Amtrak commercial was that the "Take the A Train" jingle in it back in the late 80s/early 90s. See The Country, Travel Amtrak was also very cool. I miss those days. Regarding the locomotives, I miss the SDP40fs and F40s, but the modern GE Genesis locomotives have grown on me a bit. They look really sleek running at 80mph pulling the Silver Star. :)

Best commercials ... ( 4 months ago by R160A)
Best commercials here are between 2:05 and 5:05. "All aboard America. All aboard Amtrak". How I wish these commercials would be brought back and updated to the current times and equipment.

Beautiful commercials. Too bad Amtrak is so poorly funded; it's a real shame we don't have the train options like most countries. SHAME on the US!

As an Amtrak ... ( 2 months ago by frenchy8th)
As an Amtrak traveler since 2000, it makes me sad to see the old commercials. That is how Amtrak used to be: comfortable, classy, customer service-oriented? I certainly haven't experienced that kind of luxury on my Amtrak trips. Then again, the airlines used to be like that, too, and look what happened to them. I'll still take Amtrak, though.

We should bring ... ( 2 weeks ago by bixlerscott)
We should bring back full service and advertise it with, "Ray Tutaj Jr. Amtrak Song, " to promote seeing America to the world and invigorate our economy as a result. We have the most lovely natural resource to show the world that it to be protected at the same time. When touring a land, I prefer trains as planes just get you there without an experience. Why doesn't Amtrak get empowered to improve it's fleet, advertising, and business? Why is America so depressed today? It really burns me.
