CSX intermodal I128 passes under US 41 at Barnsley, Kentucky as it heads north on the Henderson Subdivision on National Train Day, May 11th, 2024.
According to the National Today website: National Train Day is observed every year on the Saturday closest to May 10, and this year it falls on May 11. The holiday was first celebrated in the year 2008 and continues to be celebrated to this day.
The celebrations were conceptualized by Amtrak as a way to spread awareness about the history of railway networks in the U.S. and why more people should use this mode of transport.
Railways are one of the most eco-friendly ways to go from one place to another. Amtrak offers railroad service in countless cities in the U.S. and three cities in Canada. Railways don’t just transport people from one place to another but are also involved in the transportation of goods and certain services.
