SUMMER

RAIL

Summer By Rail is perhaps the greatest internship in America!

Started in 2016, each summer the Rail Passengers Association sends its paid intern correspondent on a month-long cross-country trip by train.

On their journey, the correspondents report across social media on the rail passenger network from inside the train. They talk with passengers about how they use transportation to work, live and play. They meet with mayors, media and government officials in big cities and small towns.

And, they sample the local food, drinks, entertainment and recreation that is available through the passenger rail network.
