America's Getting Into Training
Author: webmaster

Back in the 1970's the station agent at Oxnard gave this button to me while we waited to board the Coast Starlight for a day trip to Santa Barbara. I still have it after all these years.

As a kid I proudly wore the Amtrak button I received when I went with my Dad and brother to see the TurboTrain come through and make a suburban Chicago stop. I've lost track of the button (it's possible I still have it somewhere) but I still have the publicity card that was handed out:
