This 1994 program is very educational and informative.
Besides the narration of Dave Drui, there are also preparations at Lorton Virginia near Washington DC (home of the 5 Guys Burger Joint), as well as tons of onboard footage from inside the coaches (with some interviews from the passengers) & even in the cab to Sanford Florida near the Orlando area where everyone has got their own cars back.
Along the way, there are freight trains on CSX, Richmond Fredericksburg & Potomac, & Conrail, as well as Street Running through the Hot Spot of Ashland.
Yet even to this day, it is still quite popular for vacation goers as they want to save their own Automobile's fuel supply, engines, & tires, without using all of I-95, or US Route 1.
Some of these scenes were also covered in the 1996 video: Amtrak Across America-25th Anniversary with a variety of other Amtrak scenes from other Pentrex videos.
Bonus trailers of other titles are included at the end.
This is a nifty add-on to the America By Rail video series by Railway Productions & the late Greg Scholl, but on this program its just the sounds & not the added Music by Mike Lynch.
