I wanted to invite you to the first two #Rally4Trains rallies being held in Charlottesville and Richmond.

 

These rallies are part of a nationwide series of rallies in support of our Amtrak passenger trains and done in partnership between Virginians for High Speed Rail, the National Association of Railroad Passengers, the Southern Environmental Law Center, and CVille Rail.

 

The President's proposed FY 2018 federal budget eliminates 48% of Virginia's passenger rail service and puts our other trains at risk of being discountinued. We need to show support for our trains! I hope that you’ll attend one of the rallies to show support for YOUR passenger rail trains!.

Last Friday, we kicked off our Summer of Rallies in support of Virginia’s Amtrak National trains. Over 100 supporters in Charlottesville came out on a 90 degree day to ask our Congressional delegation to support funding for Amtrak’s National Network.
