The Piedmont Rail Coalition is urging local residents to get on board with a public-private plan that would bring a second daily Amtrak train to Culpeper en route to Washington, D.C., starting as early as 2010. “I think we are closer than we have ever been to having at least one new route,” said Meredith Richards, chairwoman of the Piedmont Rail Coalition, a group of government, economic development, tourism and business leaders from around Virginia’s U.S. 29 corridor.
