Whistle-Stop Tour Touts Historic Train Stations
A special Amtrak train pulled into Union Station on Wednesday during a nationwide whistle-stop tour aimed at winning corporate and public support for efforts to renovate America’s train stations.
More then 1,200 people, many of them schoolchildren, turned out to greet the train along with a troupe of Aztec dancers. The students were treated to a tour of the train that is decorated with photographs of historic stations.
The whistle-stop tour began in May in Birmingham, Ala., and will conclude in Philadelphia.
