Please contain your excitement – step in and stand clear of the closing doors. Today is National Train Day! Amtrak created this special holiday last year to celebrate trains.  The main participating cities include Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Check out all of the local events across the U.S. at the National Train Day website.

I don’t know about you but I’d love to see National Train Day include subway systems and international trains as well in the future – right now it seems like an Amtrak promotion.
