Virginia's passenger rail system is set to undergo significant improvements thanks to a $13.3 million grant from the Federal Railroad Administration announced earlier this week. This funding aims to enhance safety and accessibility across rail services in the state, including at the Staples Mill Amtrak Station in Richmond.

According to DJ Stadtler, the executive director of the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority, the upgrades are crucial for maintaining and improving passenger rail as a viable transportation option in Virginia.

"What this money is doing is it's improving the safety and ensuring that passenger rail in Virginia remains a viable way to get people around the Commonwealth and beyond," Stadtler said.
