August 19, 2025
A cafe car conversation that rivals any actor's studio or chef's table special. Rail Passengers President & CEO Jim Mathews is joined by Fmr. Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Amit Bose, Southern Rail Commission Chairman Knox Ross, and Transportation for America Chairman John Robert Smith onboard the celebratory launch of Amtrak's Mardi Gras service along the Gulf Coast. #yallaboard
"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
