My Thanksgiving Amtrak Playlist

Updated Published
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Gettysburg chapter.

This Thanksgiving means a 3-hour train ride from Harrisburg to New York City. Naturally, I had to make a playlist to occupy the ride. Since I have incredible music taste, I figured I should share this wonderful playlist so that maybe you can find some songs to add to your Thanksgiving travel playlist. After compiling all of the songs, it turns out it is exactly 4 hours long, so there’s room for skips if you aren’t feeling it. When creating this playlist, I organized some of them based on their vibes/genre and others based on the artist:
