Lorain County Morning Journal, 12/7/12:

Sherrod Brown seeks relocation of Amtrak service


U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is asking Amtrak and Norfolk Southern Corporation to relocate Amtrak service to the Lorain County Transportation and Community Center.

Story is here.

Also here is All Aboard Ohio Executive Director Ken Prendergast clarifying his comments:

Thank you, Senator!

Clarification: I told the reporter that, at the existing station, if passengers get on/off trains using tracks other than the one closest to the station platform then it would not be safe. Apparently she did not have the column-inches to explain all of that. I also said that if Amtrak could safely board passengers from more than one track at Elyria, then rail traffic would flow more freely on this NS-owned rail line which hosts about 90 trains a day, so NS has also something to gain by moving Amtrak to the Lorain County Transportation Center....

ELYRIA — A fire at the East River Road Amtrak station is not likely to speed up any improvements to the site or any plans to move rail service to the Lorain County Transportation Center.
