Amtrak just won the holidays.

Some Union Station travelers got a little surprise when they passed by what they thought was an ordinary black piano.  It what can only be described as sorcery, the piano came to life, adding panache to a child’s two-fingered rendition of Chopsticks, a frenzied soundtrack to some harried travelers' cross-station dash, and much more. A man even joins in with some soulful wails on the harmonica.

Rob Bliss Creative and Amtrak orchestrated (pun intended) the stunt but it’s our best guess how they pulled it off. We bet it’s magic.

By the way, even though this is an Amtrak promotion, we still think you should fly to Chicago with CheapOair.
