There will also be a Chuggington Kids Depot, featuring toy trains and coloring tables and all Amtrak activities are free, so bring along your children too!
Through the display of artifacts, memorabilia and interactive exhibits, the Amtrak Exhibit Train tells the remarkable story of their advancement to become the leader in U.S. intercity passenger rail and high-speed rail initiatives.
Led by a diesel-electric locomotive arrayed in an historic Amtrak paint scheme, the Exhibit Train includes three display cars (former baggage cars) that have been renovated and transformed into exhibit space. Information on major events and achievements covering more than four decades of company history are shown. At the end of the train, in a reconfigured Amfleet Café car, visitors may browse the gift shop. There are many items available for sale including: Amtrak: An American Story, an illustrated company history written by employees with chapter introductions composed by past and present Amtrak leaders.
