    Brightline Trains West!

    The proposal is to build a new line parallel to I-15, which should have great visibility to the semi regularly plugged roadway and the drivers that would be stuck in traffic or moving slower than the train.

    Hurricane Florence 2018

    Northeast Regional - luggage?

    I would suggest checking your cases, though only a few trains carry checked baggage on the northeast corridor, and your baggage may arrive at a different time than you do. You could check them earlier, even the day before, and pick them up when you arrive in NYC.

    CSX train hits truck stalled on tracks in Chester, VA
