Anyone listen to the presser from Christiansburg? Good stuff...


They will be adding another train on the Roanoke-DC line by 2022, and will have the Christiansburg line running by 2025. And that will be with two trains, so I hope the schedules can work even better for weekend football games. This is really great news for the NRV. The rail authority they are assembling for the entire region will serve everyone well.

Other tidbits... (If I recall correctly)

The Roanoke-DC Amtrak rail is consistently been the most profitable rail line in VA.
The Roanoke-DC line has also had the most ridership of all the Amtrak lines in VA.
Ridership on the Roanoke-DC line has consistently increased year over year.
