Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam yesterday announced passenger-rail service in the state will be honored this month.
On Oct. 1, 2009, Virginia launched the inaugural daily round-trip from Lynchburg to Washington, D.C., on Amtrak’s Northeast Regional route.
To mark the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s (DRPT) 10th anniversary of Virginia-sponsored passenger-rail service and Passenger Rail Month, DRPT is partnering with Amtrak to offer $10 tickets on the Northwest Regional route until Oct. 10.
Over 10,000 tickets already have been booked for the 10-day celebratory deal, DRPT officials said.
