Hello AU Members! I was hoping someone here might be able to provide some assistance or further recommendation. A good friend of mine is on the Orange County Chamber of Commerce (Orange County, VA), and the town and county have recently been interested in seeing what could be done to get Amtrak to stop at the restored station right in town that is now serving as a visitors center. Knowing that I'm an AmFan, I was asked if I knew anyone who could help provide guidance for the next steps, or someone within Amtrak whom they could discuss options with, or see what the town/county/state would need to do.
For those of you not familiar with the geography, Orange is at the junction between the Norfolk Southern line from Alexandria and the Buckingham Branch (former C&O), where the Cardinal switches to the BB, and the Crescent and Lynchburger pass through on the NS on their way to Charlottesville.
Any further information anyone here could provide to help would be much appreciated.
