- Montreal: Construction of the Réseau Express Métropolitan (REM)
- Chicago: CTA’s 75th Anniversary celebration
- Philadelphia: SEPTA’s commuter rail extension to Wawa
- Boston: Phase one of Green Line Extension opening; Red and Orange Line updates; March 13th farewell to the trackless trolleys
For dessert, historic slides taken in the 1950s will be served, as well as additional news from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Atlanta. Specially-wrapped Amtrak and NJ Transit locomotives featuring vintage paint schemes will complete this special treat!
