Trump attempting Mussolini's reputed feat of making the trains run on time? [View all]
The Associated Press @AP 3hBREAKING: President Trump extends his control over Washington by taking management of Union Station away from Amtrak.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the takeover alongside Amtrak President Roger Harris at Union Station on Wednesday for the launch of the NextGen Acela, the rail service’s new high-speed train.
Union Station, the secretary said, has “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the city. He said taking over management of Washington’s main transportation hub, which is walking distance from the U.S. Capitol, would help beautify the landmark in an economical way and was in line with Trump’s vision.
