Amtrak Railway Bookings   Huh
Amtrak is a Gov't operation (or at least it used to be)

Doesn't the Gov already control enough of our rare and precious BTC?

Edit: (The BTC doesn't go to Amtrak/the Gov't)

".Speaking to CoinDesk, CEO Jeff Klee suggested that this measured rollout of bitcoin payments was not part of the company’s strategy, though he acknowledged it has helped boost awareness of the company and its offerings within the digital currency community.

It seems a lot of businesses are jumping on the bitcoin bandwagon just to get some free publicity lol. Not that I think that's a bad thing, but I actually hope more companies follow suit. It's win win for everybody then.

Always great to see any kind or merchants accepting bitcoin. I think one of my main aspirations or dreams/goals for Bitcoin is be able to go travelling with it and pay for flights and accommodation and as much other stuff as a I possibly can with it. I think it'd be a very cool thing to actually travel the world entirely on bitcoin.
