Special Summer Offers for Kids Riding Amtrak Trains

The Amtrak and Crayola collaboration goes beyond savings. Two ACS-64 Sprinter locomotives now showcase colorful crayon-inspired designs that celebrate creativity in motion. These trains travel along the Northeast Corridor from Washington, D.C., to Boston, turning heads with their vibrant presence.

One engine features Violet Blue along with eight recently “unretired” crayon shades from Crayola’s archive. The second locomotive appears in Dandelion yellow and introduces “Dan D,” the cheerful crayon character representing imagination and joy.

Both trains display the message “Creativity on the Go!”—a visual celebration of the partnership that encourages children and families to express themselves throughout their travel experience.

Jessica Davidson, Vice President of Digital and Brand Marketing at Amtrak, highlighted the excitement of this campaign. “This partnership brings together two legendary brands to create extraordinary summer memories for kids and families.”

Anna Roca, Head of Global Partnerships at Crayola, added, “We’re bringing color and creativity into unexpected places, helping children experience joyful, meaningful adventures on the move.”

By combining discounted fares, interactive destinations, and dazzling locomotives, Amtrak and Crayola offer kids an unforgettable way to explore and create this summer.
