About 80 people gathered Tuesday in the renovated Main Street Station train shed in Shockoe Bottom to weigh in on the future of high-speed rail service in the Richmond region.
Thirteen speakers addressed Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation officials during a 30-minute public hearing, offering a range of views on where the Federal Railroad Administration should fund high-speed rail service between Richmond and Washington to the tune of more than $1 billion.
