Just heard a very nice interview on the NPR "All Things Considered" radio program this afternoon with an older gentleman who on July 21 just completed riding every mile of the Amtrak system, his final leg being from Boston to Brunswick, Maine. Great story. Highly recommended listening!

Thanks for sharing this. I read through it and was impressed. A fun accomplishment for retired people who like riding on trains.👍

A ripple of good, inspiring, and entertaining news in a sea of bad news.
