Passenger train service could return to Rockland if Amtrak’s plan for future growth comes to fruition. The national rail service issued its “vision” for the next 15 years on Wednesday, following the release of President Biden’s plan for investing in the country’s infrastructure. “With a growing and diverse population, a global climate crisis and longer traffic jams, America needs a rail network that offers frequent, reliable, sustainable and equitable train service. Amtrak has the vision and expertise to deliver it. Better rail service means cleaner air, less traffic and happier people,” the plan states.
