High-speed rail plan discussed in Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN — Even though rail service through the Mahoning Valley could be several years away, it’s evident many people are already on board.

Several dozen supporters of such an idea attended a grass-roots organizing session today at the Youngstown Club, 201 E. Commerce St. Hosting the 90-minute meeting were All Aboard Ohio and the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber.

The thrust of the gathering was to describe where things stand with respect to developing passenger-rail service connecting Cleveland, Youngstown and Pittsburgh, noted Kenneth Prendergast, All Aboard Ohio’s executive director.
