Drawing on San Francisco's rich Gold Rush history, "Amtrak panned for gold and came up with two special nuggets" for passengers: discount fares on the Coast Starlight between San Francisco and Seattle/Portland. And just as in the days of the Wild West, one had to "stake your claim" or the "golden train fares" would be gone.
