Veterans Day is a special day and a reminder for us all to stop and thank those that have and those that continue to serve our country. Amtrak San Joaquins is proud to offer travel for military personnel that is why the service offers a year-round 15% discount to all Veterans and active duty military personnel, their spouses and dependents. As continuous support and thanks to our troops, Amtrak San Joaquins welcomes uniformed military personnel to the head of the ticket line.
