What Should We Make with Amtrak Next?

We see a lot of bootleg Amtrak items being sold and the team at Amtrak is great at approving new items. What should we make next? What do you wish existed?

We are patch people. Every trip we go on we bring home a patch to sew on a particular blanket that travels with us or keeps us warm in the living room. Patches to match the prints would be great.

Speaking of prints, any plans to make ones for the Amtrak Cascades or Maple Leaf?

I love the plush engine, more engines, and more cars! Small things that you can get in the cafe cars: magnets, keychains, etc for whichever train you're on.

Fridge magnets--my granddaughter collects them! She's going to be on the Keystone, Lake Shore Limited, and Southwest Chief this summer so I know she will want some souvenirs!

I second this one-- I loooove the prints and would love to have a patch to get and sew onto my backpack for each long distance train we complete.

Here are some railroad logo patches available from Schrader: You can iron them on or, I assume, you can also sew them on.

They don't offer patches for a specific Amtrak long distance train, just an Amtrak patch. I like the idea of a patch for the different Amtrak trains. An idea for the Amtrak store.

I’d like to see Amtrak offer the posters they used in their advertising and also could be seen on trains that had a nice art deco vibe.

Amtrak used to have some small pillows that were used in coach. It would be nice to have some small pillows like that for each train with the logo of that train on it. Of course, there could also be some with the Amtrak logo.
