Great commercial on the dining car---how can you do that by any other mode of transportation?

That's right---and those were some of Amtrak's toughest years, under a President determined to end its very existence. Hats off to W. Graham Claytor, Jr.

Look I will pay you to send me the VHS tapes so I can directly rip them to my computer instead of this recode the TV screen low res stuff.

I remember these back then. I also remember the earlier ones that showed the SDP40f locomotives. My favorite (not shown here) was the "Take the A Train" Auto Train commercial. Even with the slightly increased funding recently; Amtrak's budget now is stretched very thin. So commercials for the long distance trains have taken a back seat to advertisements for the short busy corridors such as in California.

There's something about a train's magic!

Great video! I remember more Amtrak commercials in the past. I don't see as many today.
