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.
