    Video Transcript

    "Hi everyone, I'm Russ Handler, and you know traveling from New York to Philadelphia is a wonderful experience. A lot of great scenery and a lot of fun. So, here's how you book that train travel if you're going to be doing that. First of all I suggest you go to 1-800-USA-RAIL and contact Amtrak directly. They've got friendly representatives who can help you out, or, what I like to do is I like to go to the internet, and through the internet you could do a lot of wonderful things while on their website. That's Amtrak's website. Keep in mind there's three separate routes. The Keystone is the lowest fares but has absolutely no amenities, so keep that in mind. Or the Acela or the regional lines, are a little more upscale, a little more expensive, but they do have snack bars and offer a few more amenities. First thing you do is you book your travel either through the internet or 1-800-USA-RAIL. Pick up your ticket at the train station. You'll need your reservation code, you'll need an ID as well. Pack lightly, and get ready for a wonderful trip. Now when you travel by train, keep in mind in some cases the amenities might not be there for you as far as baggage handling, etcetera. So you want to travel as lightly as possible, and keep in mind as well while traveling by rail, definitely bring some snacks. Have your ID ready at all times and keep in mind that this is going to be just a wonderful trip, very historic, and a lot of fun. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
