  • November 6, 2014 for Those of You Who Were Able to Join Us at Our
    Dear All: November 6, 2014 For those of you who were able to join us at our WB&A Members Only Semi‐Annual General Membership/Swap Meet it was good to see you and we are glad you were able to join us. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

  • A Vision for High-Speed Rail in the Northeast Corridor
    A Vision for High-Speed Rail in the Northeast Corridor September 2010 September 28, 2010 Introductory Letter from e are pleased to present this initial look at how Next-Generation (“Next-Gen”) High-Speed Rail service could be successfully developed in the Northeast with sustained maximum Wspeeds of 220 mph (354 kph), three-hour trip times between Washington and Boston, and an increase in the number of train frequencies to get passengers where they need to be, when they need to be there fast, safely and efficiently. It is a vision of a realistic and attainable future that can revolutionize transportation, travel patterns and economic development in the Northeast. As America’s intercity passenger rail service provider and only high-speed rail operator, Amtrak has a vital, leading and necessary role to play in expanding and operating high-speed rail service across the country. In this role, it is incumbent upon Amtrak to put forward a vision for a next-generation, financially viable network along the Northeast Corridor (NEC). It would provide tremendous mobility benefits to the traveling public and support the growth and competitive position of the region by investing in a vital transportation necessity whose time has come. Just as leading countries throughout Europe and Asia are expanding existing High-Speed Rail networks and developing new systems, Next-Gen High-Speed Rail must play a role in the future of major travel corridors across the U.S. The NEC has the population and economic densities and growing demand for passenger rail service that makes it a perfect market for this type of premium rail service.
