All aboard 
>> Amtrak. 
>> Amtrak rolled out its star spangled Freedom 250 Asella train in honor of our 
nation's historic milestone. Happened right in the heart of Washington. 
>> The Amtrak 250, the Asella train leaving. 
And here's the hot ticket, although I'm not going. 
Washington DC up to Philly. 
Uh, and they're all it's all about celebrating America 250. 
It took 150 man hours to put all of this together. 
They've also got President Trump's name on this train along with the Secretary of Transportation. 
Now, this is the only Asella that's wrapped in the America 250 theme, but they've also got planes that are going to be wrapped in it and buses across the country. 
And there's an awful lot happening 
happening as you know as it relates to 
America 250.
