HOPEWELL, N.J.--Feb. 7, 2002-- A much anticipated new Home Video/DVD Series is being launched in conjunction with The 2002 American International Toy Fair in New York City beginning on February 10.

Kayla & Alec Ride The Acela Express Train(SM) is the first in a series of Home Videos/DVD's and Books featuring Kids, Trains and Travel Destinations around the world.

Kayla and Alec Ride The Acela Express Train(SM) features the journey of a young girl (Kayla), boy (Alec) and Conductor Cody as they ride Amtrak's new, high-speed Acela Express Train from Boston to Washington D.C. It also highlights the kids visiting travel destinations along the way including Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Wash., D.C.

Additionally, our hope is that children and families enjoy the series and are motivated to travel to many of the featured locations."
