Long Amtrak Train Trip Starting 26 August!

[Meengla]

With just barely 36 hours to go, I have started to gather for the trip and packing. From a backup phone to backup glasses to passport to munchies to toiletries and much more. I like to tip the hospitality staff as much as in my capacity and so gotten a lot of $1 bills for the Cafe Car staff and others.

What is this Amtrak rail pass ? Is it some sort of hack to travel a lot using Amtrak ?
