Obviously, you mentioned Cafe Car, and probably other, some of the areas in the train, but brand collaborations is probably something that you're also able to do, yes? With, in terms of what kind of food and beverages you bring into the space?

Eliot HamlischGUEST
We've got a partnership with Stephen Starr, a big restaurateur based out of Philly, who provides a couple of signature dishes for our first-class Acela F&B.

Tell us a little bit about kind of your vision for the next chapter of Amtrak and, and your role in leading it.

Eliot HamlischGUEST
So Amtrak's a really interesting company in a host of ways, some of which we'll get into today, some of which we won't.

Eliot HamlischGUEST
Uh, it's essentially a, a 50-year-old legacy brand that's, that's become part of the fabric of our country.

Eliot HamlischGUEST
We've got 500 different destinations across the country, provide mobility forMillions of people that, that don't have other mobility options.

Eliot HamlischGUEST
And from a moving people around the country perspective, there's a lot to love about the mission and the areas i-in which we're focused as an organization.

Eliot HamlischGUEST
Because we're a 50-year-old legacy company that for a very long time has been focused on operating efficiency, um, we haven't necessarily had the customer at the heart or the center of the way that we've thought about service delivery.

Is there any, like, tangible advice of like here are some things that worked for me that you might wanna try as you're, you're looking to progress upward in your career?
