Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Mary Tillotson
Europe and much of Asia both have comprehensive rail systems that serve their populations well. But in America, Amtrak seems to always be in trouble. Last month, it announced that all train service would have to halt in July unless it received a $200 million loan, and this month, it announced its second major corporate restructuring of the year. Join guest host Mary Tillotson as she explores the questionable future of our nation’s beleaguered rail system.
Guests
- Tom Till Executive Director, Amtrak Reform Council
- Mark Hemphill Editor, Trains Magazine
