Amtrak:
“The state is in preliminary discussions about adding a
second daily train from Lynchburg to Washington, D.C. The idea, raised during
talks regarding U.S. 29 around Charlottesville, has no timeline or complete
budget but officials say they will be actively pursuing the possibility.
‘It is something we will work hard to make accomplished,’
Virginia Transportation Secretary Aubrey Layne said during an appearance in
Lynchburg last week. The current Amtrak line has been highly popular since it
debuted in 2009 and praised for its high ridership and revenues. It is one of
two passenger trains that pass through Lynchburg each day, but the only one
dedicated to the Lynchburg to D.C. route.”
