You’re invited to join TRAINS magazine Passenger correspondent Bob Johnston, TRAINS magazine senior editor Matt Van Hattem, and transportation officials from the state of North Carolina for a panel discussion on the future of the passenger train and the state of passenger rail in North Carolina.
The event will be held Saturday March 3, 2012, at the auditorium in the Greensboro Historical Museum (http://www.greensborohistory.org/), 130 Summit Ave. in Greensboro, seven blocks north of the Greensboro train station.
A panel discussion will take place at the museum from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The discussion, titled “North Carolina Passenger Rail: Past, Present and Future” is being held to help raise awareness of North Carolina’s successful involvement in rail transportation through its sponsorship of Amtrak’s Piedmont service. It will also look at the efforts of other states across the U.S. and assess what the future holds for the American passenger train.
The forum will then continue
