Carfree Visits to our National Parks

Parks in you backyard is Amtrak's new service to tell its customers which rail lines are near national parks. Unfortunately, Amtrak assumes that you are going to be driving, and the site seems to be more an ad for a car rental company (which I shall not name) than for Amtrak or our national parks.

I am supporting the restart of the Pioneer line. If this restarts, several national parks will offer bus service from various trains stations. I am disappointed that Amtrak is not promoting this kind of information.
