National Corridors Initiative, Inc. - Home Page
Description
A few years ago, I asked Leo King to consider putting together a new kind of newsletter on rail's astonishing but largely unheralded progress as a transportation mode over the past few years. This newsletter is for all Americans, not just the rail community: It is for all of us who care about the economic and environmental future of our country. It is also for those of us who are tired of gridlock on the highways and winglock at the airports, and want our country to invest in rail as an alternative.
Because the National Corridors Initiative was fortunate enough to receive a small grant from the Surdna Foundation aimed at broadening its outreach beyond the traditional rail advocacy community, I felt the time had arrived to create a newsletter, which we have named Destination: Freedom, that, while of interest to rail advocates, could also be targeted to those many individuals, groups, organizations, and affiliations who a priori ought to support investment in a renewed rail system for America, but who might not know that rail has become viable once again.
Let's face it, the general news media, with very few exceptions, wrote off rail decades ago. As I am fond of saying, unless we kill a busload of nuns at a grade crossing, rail never makes the evening news.
