Amtrak Virginia Web Site

It's a stretch -- although rail travel could be used to avoid traffic -- so we thought we'd let you know about this new rail service in case you were interested.

There's a new Web site that is now available for Virginia’s rail travelers called AmtrakVirginia.com with information on all Amtrak service in Virginia including the new Northeast Regional service that provides expanded transportation choices for travelers.

Beginning this fall, new roundtrip Northeast Regional service will be offered from Lynchburg and Richmond to major destinations in the Northeast Corridor, including Philadelphia, New York, Boston and more. The Lynchburg service starts on October 1 and the Richmond service begins in December.
