Hello

I wanted to make a video of a very vanilla AMTRAK ride for a European rail forums. I'd record just general things like origin train station, boarding, inside the train, some of the ride from the windows, getting off and Phila. station.. is there any problems? I read the "Amtrak Corporate Guidelines on Photography and Video Recording" and it seems like there is basically no restrictions as to what I want to do, but I wanted to know if that is really the case or has anyone come across any issues?
 
I've taken videos with my iPhone, and I've never been hassled. I haven't read the guidelines, but I would imagine it wouldn't be an issue as long as you're obviously not out to make a profit or a movie or whatnot. I've seen TONS of Amtrak videos on YouTube, and none of them have been removed/blocked.
 
I've got a short iPhone video at Union Station Chicago that includes a diner or sleeper I'd not seen before . . . HOW TO I POST IT AND HOW TO I BECOME A MEMBER? Oh, I do see a Create Account button, upper right. Will give that a try. Thanks!

Mike,

Yes, click that button and follow the instructions on the screen. If you have any problems post back here. Please note, we need to approve your membership before you can post under your name. But several of the people who do that are at our annual event in Chicago this weekend; so it could take a few hours for that to happen.
