Do you remember the Amtrak song from the 1980’s?


Amtrak Song!

Do you remember the Amtrak song from the eighties?  Hint: It beings with the words, “There’s something about….” Did that help you?  If you got it without help, comment “I got this” below.  If you didn’t get it no worries, click the link, WARNING, it will get stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

Thank you to Happenings Q&A Radio WLIP  AM 1050 Kenosha for opening our radio interview with the Amtrak commercial from my childhood.  Courtesy of the late Richie Havens, please enjoy the full interview here:

Future Posts Start with Beyond the Rails: “Destination”

Over the past 2.5 years of our train travel, we have had the pleasure of visiting so many interesting, historic,  fun, and amazing places. We could not have done so without the generous support of local Chambers of Commerce and Convention and Visitor Bureaus.  In some cases we received generous discounts and admission tickets from individual vendors.

We have carefully chosen each location and the venues we enjoyed to be published in Volume I of our book Beyond the Rails.  If we felt that an activity, hotel or restaurant, or destination was not worthy of our “Daytripper Recommendation” we simply did not include it in our reviews.

Interspersed with our normal LB Living Better posts please enjoy our Beyond the Rails posts, the destination will be in the title so you don’t have to open any that you are not interested in reading!
