As U.S. airlines seem to get worse and worse (when was the last time you had a meal on a plane?) and increasing awareness of the environmental impact of air travel grows, more travelers headed for domestic destinations are trading planes for trains.
To stimulate interest in train travel, Amtrak is sponsoring the first National Train Day today, May 10. Musical performances and appearances by special guests are scheduled for stations in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
