9 Inspiring Views from the Train to Usher in Spring!

Spring is here!  While it may not feel like it yet in some parts of the world (really, snow still?), milder weather, longer days and scenery in bloom are right around the corner, marking a wonderful time to come out of hibernation and witness the scenery transform. And what better way than from the train? But for now, if you happen to still be shivering in your neck of the woods, here are some images from Amtrak riders (@Amtrak on Instagram) to warm and inspire you!
