With the advent of the Amtrak MBNA card and the generous Amtral awards program, more discussion has been occurring about Amtrak in the Visa/Mastercard forum. However, a recent thread in the Continental forum about Club Acela and the new Airlink trains between Penn Station and Newark point, IMHO, to the need for an Amtrak forum.
There are enough links to flying that I believe that it would be a viable forum for this site.
