That Time Amtrak Created an Airline

On this April 1st Video I discuss the time that Amtrak created their own airline. This was done under Richard Anderson the former Delta CEO who decided the running a railroad was not what he wanted to do and he instead wanted to run an airline. So he turned Amtrak into one.

This video speaks more truthfully than it thinks . . . .

I never knowed this. Makes total sense because of trains didn’t have tracks they would in fact be planes

[@nyrailfan202]

Yes that’s what’s called a derailment

[@dariusneal9495]

It's just crazy enough to work!

[@nyrailfan202]

Is the sky blue

[@CTrail1711]

It took me a minute but this was very funny.

[@nyrailfan202]

This is no laughing matter

[@osmanhossain676]

I want Amtrak be trains.

[@transitcaptain]

Instead of making it profitable, can we make it serve people?

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

That was an April fools joke...but never happened. Amtrak is still always in passenger rail business across the United States.

[@nyrailfan202]

Of course

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

I am back from railfanning at Stamford and is there going to be an April fools video?

[@nyrailfan202]

No I would never make an April fools video

[@NorthAtlanticRails]

Okay.

[@osmanhossain676]

I love Amtrak be trains.

[@TrainSounds]

I oppose the flexible dining, the traditional food is much better.

[@Pensyfan19]

This is actually plausible...

[@nyrailfan202]

It’s what happened I swear

[@MenaceFromPa]

“amairline”💀

[@typeblaze6557]

We are going to stop serving are nice marbled pan seared sirloin steak but don’t worry you can have these microwaved chicken nuggets instead

[@zostrelling_]

April fools?

[@nyrailfan202]

Yes
