"We're on the verge of transforming Amtrak for the next 50 years..."

is (about) what he says when there is a shot of what looks like Flexible Dining.

I received the video, viewed it, and thought it well done. This anniversary has caused me to do some reminiscing about my rail journeys in the past. Doing some Googling, I remembered that I traveled on the National Limited in its closing months of existence. Even found a copy of the timetable printed near the date when I went to/from New York from Dayton. Good memories!

Yes...I do the same on every anniversary. I think back to that first morning in Penn Station, watching the hoopla of Metroliner 101's departure for Washington...
even if the post-midnight Philadelphia Clocker may have been the actual "first Amtrak train".
