This week's Rail Fan Friday goes to @lord_fife ๐ธ
If you've been sitting on a great Amtrak Virginia photo thinking "nah, it's probably not good enough" now is the time to tag us! If you tag @amtrakvirginia in your train photo, you could be the next Rail Fan Friday feature.
It's National Bike Month, and we need to talk about your best commuter upgrade. ๐ฒ๐ Amtrak Virginia lets you bring your bike on board for a small fee! Instead of driving to the trailhead, you can *train* to the trailhead. Your legs will thank you later (or yell at you, depending on the trail).
Speaking of trails! Mark your calendar: Roanoke is hosting the USA Cycling Endurance Mountain Bike National Championship in July 2026. ๐โฐ๏ธ
Book a seat to Roanoke on Amtrak Virginia. Show up. Shred. Repeat. ๐ Bike reservation info in our bio.
She raised you, drove you everywhere, and still remembered to pack snacks. ๐๐
This Mother's Day, skip the brunch reservation stress and treat her to something she'll actually talk about: a train trip through Virginia. Book her a seat, hand her a coffee, and watch her exhale.
๐ Check out our giftcards at Amtrak.com/virginia and tag a mom who deserves a real getaway. โฌ๏ธ
Happy National Train Day! ๐๐ Test your knowledge with some Virginia train trivia! We wonโt lie, some of these facts even surprised us.

Which fact blew your mind the most?
It's Rail Fan Friday, and this week's feature belongs to @khayrisrailfanningadventures ๐๐
We see you out here catching shots while the rest of us are still hitting snooze. Honestly? Respect.
Tag us in your best Amtrak Virginia moments for a chance to be next week's feature. We're watching (in the best, non-creepy way possible).

To every veteran and active duty service member, thank you for your service. Not just this month. Always.
Amtrak offers a 10% discount for active military personnel and veterans, because getting you home (or anywhere else you want to go) should be a little easier.
Virginia's got a lot worth exploring, and you've more than earned the window seat. ๐ Link in bio to learn more about military travel discounts. Tag a vet or service member who deserves to know about this. ๐
Therapist: How does boarding the train make you feel? Us: ๐๐โจ Big thanks to @lord_fife for this week's #RailFanFriday shot that we are frankly living for.
Drop your best Amtrak Virginia shots in the comments and tag @amtrakva for your photo could be our next feature!
From beach getaways to mountain escapes, the train makes it easy to explore the state with relaxing car-free travel. ๐
Unlock your summer with Amtrak Virginia โ๏ธ
Weโre making big progress on the Long Bridge Project!
Crews are currently driving piles in the river as part of the ongoing test pile program. Next up is something pretty interesting: statnamic testing. The first of two days this testing are scheduled to occur Friday, May 1 and Thursday, May 7.
What is a statnamic test? Itโs a specialized test that applies a powerful downward force onto a pile; to confirm it meets design requirements. Itโs quick and effective, but you might hear a loud โboomโ when it happens.
This is all a part of making sure the foundation is strong, safe, and built to last.
While everyone else is sitting on I-95, we're out here living our best life at full speed and @1zacharyweiss had the receipts to prove it. This is your #RailFanFriday reminder that you could be on this train right now.
Drop your favorite shots of us in motion and tag @amtrakva for the chance to be featured. We'll do the rest. ๐๏ธ
