Bedford/Franklin
counties
welcome Amtrak
This Halloween, a special “treat” is in store for Southwest Virginia with the launch of passenger train service to and from Roanoke. As elected representatives of Bedford and Franklin counties, we enthusiastically welcome this important development.
Traveling by train is gaining in popularity in the U.S. During the last fiscal year, 31.6 million passengers used Amtrak, an all-time record, according to a recent article in Smarter Travel.
