    Round-trip train travel will be provided on an Amtrak long-distance route. Each resident will be given a private sleeper car, equipped with a desk, a bed and a window to watch the American countryside roll by for inspiration.
-That sounds pretty cool to me. As someone that has taken long distance Amtrak trips many times -(some tips in that link on how to do so in style), I would jump at this opportunity if I were a budding writer, even if I had to "write about trains."

It's nice to see that an organization that is so flush with cash-flow is giving back to the world. ....oh, wait.

But, I say go for it you guys. I would.
