Hey everyone. I'm a reservation sales agent at Amtrak and while I was working at National Train Day in Washington, I saw a bunch of your members with Amtrak Unlimited nametags walking through some of the train consists we had on display. Thought I would check out the forum and it looks pretty cool. I've been riding Amtrak trains all my life and I hope to share some interesting discussion with you all in the near future!
Saw y'all at National Train Day, DC

Dave, are you complaining about seeing me 3 times in one year??? If so, you are beginning to sound like my relatives.
I am looking forward to joining you for a few - in October.
