National Train Day is May 10th

Amtrak is sponsoring the first-ever National Train Day on May 10th, 2008. You can find complete details at the official National Train Day Web site below.

There will be major events on that day at Amtrak's largest passenger stations, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles, which will feature free music performances, train photos, train simulators, and prizes and giveaways. Several dozen smaller stations will have events as well.

The New York event will include an appearance and performance by the Harlem Globetrotters.
