rename the "Vermonter" Amtrak service to the "Bernie Sanders Experience".

Created by A.F. on February 17, 2016

The Vermonter Amtrak currently runs once daily between Washington, DC and St. Alban's, Vermont via New York City. This route is in fact a perfect metaphor for Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who started in New York City before becoming an activist in Vermont and later, a Representative and Senator in Washington, DC. The fact that the train represents the travels of Bernie's life, combined with his strong support for Amtrak in Congress, together warrant the renaming of this service to "The Bernie Sanders Experience".
