Wichita passenger rail supporters will get a jump on National Train Day this Friday during a press conference at Union Station building in Wichita.
Though National Train Day is on Saturday, organizers say the 4 p.m. press conference on Friday will provide "significant updates" on passenger rail advocacy in Kansas. Wichita officials say they'll release a major statement regarding rail.
Vice Mayor Pete Meitzner will lead the event; local business representatives who serve on his local Steering Committee will join him.
The public is welcome to attend this news conference. It will take place at 4 p.m. near Union Station's north entrance, at 701 East Douglas.
