A Meeting About AMTRAK 04/15/13

Sustainable transportation: The future of Amtrak and high speed rail
Craig Caldwell of Amtrak will speak at a meeting of the Sierra Club of Southeastern Pennsylvania and CCP Coalition for a Sustainable Future that will be held 6:45 p.m. Monday, April 15 at Community College of Philadelphia's Center for Business and Industry.

The center is located at the northeast corner of 18th and Callowhill streets. The meeting will be held in room C2-5 on the second floor. The entrance is on Callowhill Street.

Amtrak is a corporation subsidized by the federal government to provide rail passenger service nationwide. A train is more efficient and has fewer greenhouse gas emissions per ton carried than a car, plane or ship. The northeast corridor is Amtrak's most profitable route. High speed rail even faster than Amtrak's Acela Express is being considered from New York City to Albany and Chicago to Detroit.
