News-In-Brief

City May Lose Amtrak Service

Charlottesville may lose its
east-west Amtrak train service

formulated by the Nixon
administration will force

long-distance passenger train
routes, probably including the
Cincinnati-Newport News
route which passes through
Charlottesville.

Sources in Congress,
Amtrak, and the Nixon
administration said the White
House Office of Management
and Budget has permanently
frozen a $9.1 supplemental
appropriation to Amtrak.

Amtrak also runs a New
York-New Orleans route
through Charlottesville
