This week we are teaming up with Amtrak to talk about Train Travel. Traveling by rail is a mode of transportation that gets little attention in most travel communities, and we are hoping to change that. While people pour over articles on air fair deals and the perfect airline, or obsess over which car to take on which rad trip itinerary, fewer people think about taking the train.

Whether you take the subway to work everyday or long for a trip on the Orient Express, we want to hear why you love traveling by train. Whether its the comfort planes can’t compete with, the old world sensibilities of the dining car, or the unbeatable views, tell us all about it at 1PM EST on Wednesday, August 13th.

Use the tag #passionpassport on Twitter and join the conversation. The questions for the chat, and the times that they will be posted, are listed below.
