Response to the town hall meeting that Amtrak and Trains are co-sponsoring March 6 in Chicago has been nothing short of excellent. With only a few days since the February 2010 issue to hit mailboxes and the announcement was posted to Trains’ News Wire Monday afternoon, we’ve already pre-registered 102 participants as of today. That’s great news, and it shows that people are definitely interested in this dialogue with CEO Joe Boardman and Amtrak board Chairman Tom Carper.
If you’re not familiar with the meeting or interested in signing up, here’s what you need to know. TRAINS and Amtrak are co-sponsoring the event for give and take between railroad supporters and the passenger carrier. The key issues for discussion are the photography policy, the locomotive and car fleet, and the future of the long-distance passenger train. Those three topics will provide a day’s worth of dialogue. We hope you can join us. Space is limited to the first 300 who pre-register. I hope to see you there!
