Amtrak Workers Collect West Virginia Aid

Amtrak employees recently collected donations that were distributed to areas of West Virginia that were hard hit by flooding in late June.

The back-to-school supplies and other materials were placed in a baggage car of Amtrak’s New York to Chicago Cardinal and transported to White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, for distribution.

The donations were collected at stations and Amtrak facilities in eight cities.

Amtrak worked with the American Red Cross, community organization Neighbors Loving Neighbors, and the West Virginia National Guard to coordinate the donations.
