As most of you know, on April 1, 2016, Urban Corning published an April Fool?s Day post suggesting that passenger rail service would soon be re-established between Downtown Corning and New York City. The post generated a great deal of interest and conversation on the subject, and prompted Rob Piecuch ? Southern Tier Coordinator of the Empire State Passengers Association ? to reach out to Urban Corning in hopes of engaging a new audience in ESPA?s mission.
We have had several meetings on this action, and have begun to rollout a grassroots fundraising campaign, titled Southern Tier On Track, to finance a passenger rail feasibility study. It is now up to you to help spread the word, as we try to get as many community members involved in this grassroots effort.
