GOVERNOR PATAKI: $7 MILLION TO IMPROVE ADIRONDACK RAIL SERVICE (ESSEX & FRANKLIN COUNTIES)
Governor George E. Pataki today announced the State will begin $7 million in projects that will substantially improve rail services on the entire Remsen to Lake Placid Travel Corridor, including new service between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake beginning next fall.
“By investing in the railroad, we will help increase ridership by more than 50,000 passengers annually, spurring increased tourism and economic development for the region,” Governor Pataki said.
Something you won’t see Anderson do… verbotten!
In many ways the story of us all
Its tough to think how much he did for Amtrak. And I find it fortunate that Amtrak had both Mr. Claytor and Mr. Boardman at the helm. If only Anderson could approach what they did.
Thank you for your reply Eloctroliner 1935. Plenty of ‘hits’ but no replies. Found it odd, especially as he was such a champion for Amtrak.
Being a master procrastinator, I had been thinking of commenting and was phrasing it in my head, but electroliner pretty much said what I was thinking. We could use another Claytor or Boardman, someone who takes a genuine interest in running things right.
