Only "license"; "A one thousand horse sleigh" (little more like four?)
It sure seems as if the "Oberst Fuhrer of Spin" gets a nice budget for this kind of stuff. Possibly this two minutes of material can be "compressed" into thirty second "spots".

Yeah, I'm not "feelin' it" for general media circulation. Probably in house PR only - too amateurish and too long.

Those of us who ride mostly long-distance trains may not realize it, but younger people are taking to regional buses and trains in droves. More and more in urban areas don't own cars and don't want to.
They are the target market that Amtrak should be addressing and sadly isn't always. No Wi-Fi on LD trains? Unbelievable in 2014.

I love it. Humanizes the service.

Wi-Fi along with the Laptop itself has changed the picture for a lot of business travelers. With Wi-Fi, so what if the trip takes a couple of hours longer? These can be as productive as office time, if not more so. Even without Wi-Fi, going by train has its advantages over plane in the 4 hour or less trip time. By the time you go through all the hassles of getting on the plane, and consider trying to work on a laptop on a plane, even if the train takes a couple hours more, you can get more done. The problem with the long distance for business travel is the once a day operation.
