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.
The focus actually isn’t the train, but where the train can take you. Plenty of people already make videos x number of hours on train going from city to city where they just talk about the train. This is more about all those little stops the train stops at between the cities and the potential *day trips that you could do. The long term goal would be for this to be an income source, so if I enjoy it and it doesn’t work out, I guess its not wasted time, but its time and money I won’t get back.
* day if there were more than one train a day.
