American railroads employ veterans at a high rate, and some passenger lines offer discounts to veterans. This Veterans Day, we’d like to show our gratitude by shining a spotlight on veterans’ contributions to the railroads.

The Northeast’s most important rail project has been “terminated.” Its postponement is bad for all Americans.

Standard Time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday. We want trains that are fast, frequent, and reliably on time!

Transit funding approved!
It is perfectly reasonable to say that your email or phone call to your legislator may have put this over the top. Thank you.

Please tell your state legislators to pass the Transit Bill. This bill secures funding for Chicago, the suburbs, Downstate, and — for the first time — makes intercity trains part of Illinois’ core transit strategy to serve every corner of the state.

“The stakes are: Does Chicago become once again a healthy city with a vibrant
downtown, or do we continue this very frightening circumstance of incredibly high
vacancy rates downtown and the huge loss of value that has happened to downtown real estate over the last four years?”

Columbus, Indiana, has no regional rail, but it should.

Located 50 miles south of Indianapolis, it would make a perfect location for a stop on the Chicago-Louisville corridor.
