Staunton City Council met Thursday with Virginia transportation officials to discuss expanding passenger and cargo rail service in the Shenandoah Valley to alleviate traffic along Interstate 81.
Nick MacNeil of the group Rail Solutions says congestion along I-81 is a problem. "Well, it is true that I-81 seems to be reaching its capacity or has exceeded its capacity in truck traffic," said MacNeil.
