"Hi everyone I'm Russ Handler travel agent, I love to travel the rails here in America. It's just a great way to see the country, and a lot of fun as well. Let's say you want to go from Washington to Chicago, well pretty simple my friends. Call 1-800-USA-RAIL, and connect with your good friends at Amtrak. Or do what I like to do, I like to get online. In this case we're going from Washington all the way to Chicago, and this is of course is via the capital limited route shown here. Now what I like about this internet, interactive internet site of Amtrak's is that you get to put in all your itinerary information that you would like, hit click, it will then come up with a full price range, travel times, itineraries, and it's a lot of fun. A great interactive way to learn about the trip that you're about to take. And then I suggest that you also print out that map, and go ahead and sit down and enjoy the ride and you get to see all the different cities, and know where you are. That's always a lot of fun part of the fun of traveling by rail. Purchase your tickets on line, you can pick them up with your reservation number at the Amtrak station that you depart from. I'm Russ Handler and that's how you do it."
