Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
As Leo King in the Jacksonville Examiner writes, ridership on Amtrak's long-distance trains is up.
This article also mentions the changes which Amtrak is planning to the Los Angeles-New Orleans portion of the Sunset Limited route. How these changes might impact the restoration of New Orleans-Florida service in the future are of concern to FCRP.
