NARP Greets New Cities Sprinter

Written By Jenna Jablonski

Amtrak's "Cities Sprinter" dazzled as it rolled into Union Station in the late afternoon sunlight. Today it took its inaugural revenue run from Boston to DC, even boasting a VIP passenger: Vice President Biden. It was greeted by a conglomerate of media attention including Abe Zumwalt and Jenna Jablonski of the National Association of Railroad Passengers. NARP Vice President Sean Jeans-Gail attended the launch ceremony yesterday at Philadelphia 30th Street Station.

We treasure the opportunity to see these electric locomotives in their shiny new condition -- perhaps the only time we'll see them this pristine for the next several decades of service we are sure they will provide.
