Why is Amtrak Booming in North Carolina?

Thanks so much for watching! Consider supporting me on Patreon at   / nathandaven  , or by joining my YouTube Membership at    / @nathandaven   for full interview content and more! Over the holidays, I took Amtrak from Atlanta to Raleigh, and while Atlanta's service is pretty brutal, Charlotte northward is particularly incredible! Lets dive into the Piedmont/Carolinian service and how that came to be.

Thanks again to Donald Arant of the NCRR for interviewing with me!   / donald-arant-pe-1240aa67
