2011 is the fourth annual "National Train Day" which is National Celebration of Rail Line Communities of America�s railways and train services, from freight trains to terminal railroads to passenger trains of all types.

America's railways have taken a leading role in improving our nation's future in transportation, there�s a lot to celebrate, as each rail line community has a story to tell and can create a unique celebration!

How can can you and your rail line community participate!

By organizing planning committees within your community, you create your own or join existing committees with family, friendly and community leaders to host your community events with clubs, organizations, foundations, societies, associations, schools or business and merchant leadership.

It�s not just an event, it�s an experience!

To celebrate our "American History" and pay our respects to men and women who dedicated their knowledge and lives to plan, build, maintain and protected our railways for our future as a greener society.

SO LETS GET STARTED PLANNING

JOIN YOUR NATIONAL OR STATE
RAIL LINE COMMUNITY COMMITTEE TODAY

"RAIL LINE COMMUNITY JOURNEY"

Meet NRPC-Amtrak Corporate Executive's
Meet ATD LINES Chief Executive Officer

Last year the United States discovered the railway during the 3rd annual National Train Day. This years rail line communities across the nation will celebrate our American Trains again in 2011-2012. Rail Line Communities will offer a wide selection of specialized activities, including live entertainment, interactive educational exhibits, tours of notable private railroad cars and trains, train rides, food demonstrations,kids� programs and much more entertainment.

WHAT IS NATIONAL TRAIN DAY?

Celebrating National Train Day will help raise awareness of the vital role railways interact in our rail line communities and nation�s transportation system. Railway service is a key component of America�s economy and its future. Train transforms the economy by linking rail line communities and creating jobs. With its inclusion as part of the recent economic stimulus bill, freight rail and high-speed rail will change transportation in the United States. With a global concern about ecology and conservation, trains are becoming known as a more energy-efficient way to travel at 457 miles per gallon of fuel.

AMERICAN RAILWAY HISTORY & CULTURE

Tell your local community railway history (RESOLUTION & DELARATION) and your future plans to improve rail services, here an example:

On May 10, 1869, in Promontory Summit, Utah, the �golden spike� was driven into the final tie that joined the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railways, ceremonially creating the nation�s first transcontinental railroad. Suddenly, the country was united in a way it never had been, and train travel sparked imaginations in small towns and big cities, among folk who desired adventure and businessmen who saw fortunes to be made. The sound of a train whistle was the soundtrack of happy reunions and tearful farewells.

It heralded the arrival of mail, supplies and community economic growth changes . The train became more than the go-to mode of transport for people and goods. It was a proud achievement of engineering vision, technical ingenuity and sweat. It was a cultural force that sparked the creativity of storytellers in songs, movies and novels.

Railways provided jobs for thousands of Americans. The train station became a focal point of every community, from New York City�s Penn Station to the tiny stations that dotted rural America.

GREAT AMERICAN RAILWAY HERITAGE CELEBRATION

111th CONGRESS initiated the creation of National Train Day in 2008 and National Rail Passenger Corporation-Amtrak began the major cities event celebrations. However, National Train Day is really an American celebration of the train, as many rail line communities started such dynamic events years ago.

Railroad Days, Train Festivals and National Train Day Celebration of our railway heritage and future train services is for everyone to enjoy. Visit: RAIL FESTIVALS AND EVENT GUIDE

The national nonprofit rail safety education organization, will celebrate 2012 National Train Day on Saturday, May 12 with activities in 20 states and the District of Columbia.

�Amtrak marks 40 years of operation this year, and Operation Lifesaver�s 40th anniversary will follow next year,� said OLI President Helen M. Sramek. �So on National Train Day, as we do every day, Operation Lifesaver reminds the public to �Look, Listen, and Live� around tracks and trains.�

Operation Lifesaver will participate in Amtrak�s major National Train Day events in:

Chicago,
Los Angeles,
Washington D.C.

Smaller Events In Locations:

Alaska Operation Lifesaver will be staffing a booth at the Alaska Railroad Depot in Anchorage in conjunction with the railroad�s open house.
