VA wants more rail, needs money

Virginia communities are vying to get one more daily commuter train to Washington, reports the Post. Amtrak is willing to run another train from Lynchburg to Union Station via Charlottesville, Culpeper and Manassas, or from Newport News via Williamsburg and Richmond. Unfortunately, Virginia only has money for one or the other.

Virginia needs to replace the struck-down transit fund money so they can add not only these two routes, but even more trains per day, as well as the high-speed rail to Charlotte that sneaks in at the end of the Post article.
