Amtrak’s arrival today is the beginning of an exciting new opportunity for Roanoke.
Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) released the following statement on the arrival of Amtrak service in Roanoke today:
“Amtrak’s arrival today is the beginning of an exciting new opportunity for Roanoke. The Roanoke Valley is a great place to live, work, and visit. This new service will help make the community more accessible to others who wish to explore all we have to offer.
“Today’s events are the result of many years of hard work by officials at all levels of government to the benefit of the Roanoke community. Bringing passenger rail service to western Virginia has long been a goal of mine, and I have worked over the years in Congress to help move this long process forward. I am pleased to help welcome Amtrak to the Star City.”
