Hotline #1,432
March 13, 2026
A bit of a slow news week (at least in the passenger rail advocacy world), but #HotlineFriday rolls on. We cover a strategy reset for CAHSR, take a look overseas with the reopening of a line between China & NK, and let you know about a chance to tour the restored Michigan Central Station in the Motor City. Plus all that's fit to print. See you onboard! Highball!

Get on track with this week's rail passengers news
"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
