Here’s a super deal for families, but hurry because this Amtrak Downeaster flash sale is very limited. For each adult ticket sold, one child ages 2-12 rides for free on any Amtrak Downeaster trains operating on Monday, Aug. 26, Wednesday, Aug. 28, and Friday, Aug. 30, 2019 only.

Take it to Freeport for back-to-school shopping, to Old Orchard for some beach time, to Portland or Boston for a little city fun: so many options, so little time.
