Red rail, Blue rail?
from Train Time: The Podcast · host Karen Christensen, Matthew Silber, and Ellis Simon
While you might think passenger rail, as public transportation, would be the province of Democrats, there are many Republican backers of rail projects. There are also rail initiatives that depend on people from both parties to work together. Today’s tri-state conversation brings together train-pilled colleagues Matt Silber (CT), Ellis Simon (NY), and Karen Christensen (MA) to talk about projects elsewhere in the United States and the lessons we might learn from them. There’s optimism here about one way to bridge political divides.Train Time is a media project focused on passenger rail’s potential for making the world a better place.
