The nation's highways jammed with a record 71 million Thanksgiving travelers.

And look at all the planes in the air right now.

2.9 million passengers will take off today on 56,000 flights.

With all the focus on cars and planes, how about a mode of transportation that few of us seem to consider?

Some 300,000 passengers will make their way through Moynihan Train Hall here in Manhattan today.

No check-in lines, no TSA security, just grab your ticket and climb aboard.

There's large spacious seats so you're not cramped in.

Best of all, you get to see some of the best views anywhere in the country outside our picture-esque windows.

And preparations are underway for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The massive balloons are laid out on the streets ready for inflation.

And this year, security is tighter than ever.
