High Speed Rail is Full Speed Ahead!

In my other life as a Legislative Director and as the founder of New Yorkers for High Speed Rail a 2,280 person organization advancing the cause of high speed rail in New york State -- I have been doing a lot of work to advance the cause of improving rail in Upstate New York. Looks like we will soon see a victory in this regard. Yesterday, I addressed the Empire State Passenger Association -- here's a copy of my remarks. There will most likely be announcement tomorrow about High Speed Rail in NY. Great things ahead for our State and the Capital Region with these improvements. Bethlehem will certainly benefit from any improvements in rail because of our valuable Selkirk rail yard and proximity to the City of Albany -- which will be the nexus of plans for improvements to rail in new York State. I fyou have not already, please join us in New Yorkers for High Speed Rail.
