Every train ride holds a story. What’s yours?
📖 We Want to Hear Your Journey
There’s something truly special about train travel. The quiet anticipation as you board. The scenic views that unfold outside your window. The conversations with strangers who feel like old friends. The arrival into a new city with memories made along the way.
Whether it was a romantic getaway, a family adventure, a solo soul-searching trip, or even your first time on board, we want to hear your story.
Amtrak riders across the Pacific Northwest (and beyond) have unforgettable moments—and we believe those stories deserve to be shared.
✍️ What to Share
Your journey doesn’t have to be epic—it just has to be yours. Here are a few ideas:
- 🧳 Why you chose the train over flying or driving
- 🌲 Your favorite scenic moment along the route
- 💬 A fun or meaningful interaction on board
- 📍 A special destination you discovered
- 🧒 A kid’s first train ride (we love those!)
- 🐾 Traveling with pets, bikes, or big ideas
🌟 Get Featured!
We regularly spotlight rider stories on our blog, social media, newsletters, and even in print. If your story is selected, you’ll help inspire others to hit the rails and experience train travel in a whole new way.
🎁 Bonus: Featured riders may also receive exclusive Amtrak merch or discount codes for future trips!
