    Video Transcript

    "Hi, everyone. I'm Russ Handler, and I'm a travel agent. And did you know that traveling on America's railways is not only a fun and affordable way to travel, but it's very exciting and educational, too. Let's say you want to go from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. Well, it's pretty simple. All you need to do is call 1-800-USA-Rail, and then you'll connect with your good friends over at Amtrak. Or do what I like to do. I like to go to their interactive website. It's very cool. Not only will it show you a map of the route -- in this case, the Keystone route map -- but it'll also give you an interactive area where you could put your itinerary and simply choose your preferences, hit a button, you get all the information you need in regard to the route, the amenities on the route, and what to prepare for, what to bring, what not to bring, et cetera. Keep in mind that all of Amtrak's trains are smoke-free, so always leave your cigarettes at home. Once you buy your ticket here online, very simply, take your voucher and your reservation number down, the day of your trip, to the Amtrak departure area and you could print out your ticket at an automated kiosk. It's just that easy. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you do it."
