## Col 1

 If freight trains come through your town, so did
 passenger trains til the '60s. Let's get Kentucky,
 Tennessee, and Amtrak to bring back passenger ser-
 vice!

 A proposed Bluegrass line will take existing track
 Cincinnati to Atlanta, with stops in Lexington,
 Knoxville, and 14 other towns. A day & night train
 will run each way each day, quick as driving. 
 Amtrak coach tickets cost what gas costs to drive.

## Col 2: What can you do on the train?

 - Sleep, enjoy view, talk, walk, eat/drink, toilet
 - Travel without a car or if you can't drive
 - Visit family, go to a festival, carry-on a bike

 Board Amtrak's Cardinal in Cincinnati; ride to New
 York, Philadelphia, Washington, Charlottesville,
 Charleston WV, Indianapolis, or Chicago.

 In Atlanta catch Amtrak's New York to New Orleans
 Crescent to Charlotte or Birmingham. Take the pro-
 posed restored EK line train from Winchester to 
 Irvine, Beattyville, Jackson, or Hazard.
