American railroads employ veterans at a high rate, and some passenger lines offer discounts to veterans. This Veterans Day, we’d like to show our gratitude by shining a spotlight on veterans’ contributions to the railroads.

Please tell your state legislators to pass the Transit Bill. This bill secures funding for Chicago, the suburbs, Downstate, and — for the first time — makes intercity trains part of Illinois’ core transit strategy to serve every corner of the state.
