In 2019, Amtrak embarked on a mission to make America fall in love with the train.  This meant making the oldest mode of city-to-city travel relevant to a new generation of travelers, a generation that had grown up flying and driving—the train never in their consideration. So, we created a campaign that celebrated the joy of the train journey, enticing travelers to get carried away with Amtrak. We induced major train-lust, with purchase intent up +11.4% among young travelers and over 300,000 new Amtrak riders in just 4 months.
