The national meeting will highlight U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx’s vision for our nation’s transportation system. The town hall meeting will also give you an opportunity to dialogue with the secretary about the future of our nation’s transportation system – including high-speed rail.

Defnitely, more funding for Amtrak and a more innovative Amtrak Management approach to running of passenger trains.   Get rid of the Cardinal and the Sunset Limited at a minimum.........please!!!!

Research adding a second frequency to the Capitol Limited.     As well as a second Frequency to the Empire Builder between Chicago and St. Paul

Someone please ask the "when more equipment question" and not the V-2s and California cars now on order.
