The NM Section of the Southwest Chief Coalition will be hosting an event in partnership with the Lamy Station & SFS Railway Lamy. We will be here for about 90 mins and on hand to answer any questions regarding the Southwest Chief. We will be finalizing our agenda in the coming weeks as we prepare to attend the Passenger Rail Summit in Topeka a few days after.
We invite any special government leaders and or business people to be on hand to have any questions answered about the recent Southwest Chief issue which Amtrak, and the NMDOT have been silent in trying to inform the residents of Lamy and surrounding residents.
We will be meeting at the Amtrak station.
"It is an honor to be recognized by the Rail Passengers Association for my efforts to strengthen and expand America’s passenger rail. Golden spikes were once used by railroads to mark the completion of important rail projects, so I am truly grateful to receive the Golden Spike Award as a way to mark the end of a career that I’ve spent fighting to invest in our country’s rail system. As Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it has been my priority to bolster funding for Amtrak, increase and expand routes, look to the future by supporting high-speed projects, and improve safety, culminating in $66 billion in new funding in the Bipartisan infrastructure Law."
