All Aboard Amtrak in Trainz

Thank you to: / @kodai5211 for the digitized recording.
"All Aboard Amtrak" was a slogan used by the titular railroad throughout the 1980s and 90s. At the end of TV commercials, there'd often be a short jingle singing the lyrics in varying styles. Here's a good ol' Trainz music video featuring the elusive full song.
The full version of "All Aboard Amtrak" was never really heard or made public, until now! An unknown amount of 33 1/3 vinyl records featuring the full song were most likely distributed to employees sometime in the 80s, and one just so happened to go up for sale. A friend of mine bought the record and digitized it, so now everyone can enjoy it and use it as they wish. No gatekeeping here. Who knows if anyone at Amtrak even remembers it lol. This is a remake of a video I had up in 2021, but the recording I had from a different person with the record was not very good.

Lyrics:
Give me the time
The time is right
For taking the train
Instead of that flight
Going more places, really gettin' around
So lets take it off
And never leavin' the ground (or "And never leave in a crowd"?)
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard Amtrak!
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard Amtrak!
So much comfort, so much to see
Travel the way, travel should be
Superliners can see what we've done
Making getting there, part of the fun
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard Amtrak!
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard Amtrak!
Same old flights
Same old planes
Well have you seen our brand new trains?
All aboard
All aboard
All aboard Amtrak!

This. This is the cleanest version of this song I’ve ever heard. You are a saint and a scholar for posting this song in this quality for all.

[@ctvalleyrailfan]

I agree, this is by far the best quality version I’ve ever heard of this song.

Heya! Original uploader here! Glad you enjoyed this recording I did for Amtrakguy. Really makes my day all that better seeing how many people are happy with this.

His source is in the description; it’s worth a look.

[@MilesL.auto-train4013]

Amtrak, despite how divisive it is with some, is undeniably special to many. And they certainly knew how to capture and captivate their audience with a catchy tune.

As an Amtrak P42DC, i approve this video

Not only is it a refrence to his channel name, It's Amtrak Train 365, the Blue Waters, pulled by F40PH 365 arriving in Durand, Michigan. Note the Durand station canopy at 0:03.

[@coconutmall333]

I never knew that American Airlines and Amtrak are the iconic of American liveries of red, blue and sliver lining. The 1980’s was sure the popularity of American’ dream. I love Amtrak, never ride any, but I do seen them around the East Coast of Maryland and later, Delaware as of my childhood. Cos’ like AmtrakGuy365 says, I love trains, I love “Amtrak.” Just like me.😙👍

[@DankEngine2005]

Finally a good quality version of the song! And an excellent video to accompany it!

[@Coast-365]

[@BestTboneSteak]

In the lyrics, it says "So nice taking off, and never leaving the ground"

[@teddyguerrero1235]

Only one way to describe this: An absolute masterpiece! So far, the most catchy song of any railroad music video there has ever been!

[@southern_railman]

They really need to bring this song back.

[@BBCWatcher]

I recall as a teenage camp counsellor I got an "All Aboard Amtrak" record, the one with this jingle. I wish I saved it! I'm pretty sure it was a "sheet" record: a plastic or vinyl page included in a booklet, also known as a "flexi disc." You pulled out the flexible sheet, placed it on top of another record (for relative stability), then played the sheet record. My recollection is that the Amtrak Police visited the summer day camp where I worked (in a Northeast Corridor community) to give a short presentation about rail safety, especially to discourage kids from throwing objects at trains. I wonder if anyone has a copy of that Amtrak public safety film. I thought it was really well done, and it got the kids talking (in a good way). Throwing objects at trains is extremely dangerous, but they couldn't show death and injury to kids in an explicit way. Instead they showed a teen or pre-teen doing something unsafe (like throwing something at a train) and then he/she was suddenly transported to an empty, dark train car - a metaphor for death or at least a serious injury. And with a stern voiceover to go along with the tragedy. After the film and some discussion (Kid #1: "What happened to them?" Kid #2: "I think they died...") the Amtrak Police passed out a few Amtrak goodies, and the "All Aboard Amtrak" sheet record was included in the kit. I remember playing that jingle a lot. It's pretty catchy! The brass section in the chorus works particularly well.
