I have some free time after having been laid off, and one of the things I’ve though about is a video series where I go around the towns that Amtrak stops in between the big cities. The two goals would be to have it make money, and the long term goal being to increase rail interest in the US especially on tracks that already exist. I worry no one would watch it and I’m wasting my time.

    I’m pretty sure there is an audience for any train idea possible. Not necessarily enough to profit off of however.

      There are people who do plane journeys or train journeys, or other where they simply film the getting there bit (Noel Philips, Jeb Brooks, jet lagged (sort of), etc…). I feel like there should be an audience for when you get there, but when I have asked a few places, I’ve mostly gotten silence, so I don’t know if this is if you make it they will come, or its just not something people are interested in.

        I’m confident this would find an audience, but is that enough for you? Or does it need to lead to significant income?
