Amtrak daily service to resume

Amtrak announces daily service will resume for several of its trains throughout its national network.  Last fall Amtrak reduced service on many long distance routes including the Crescent that stops in Toccoa, Georgia and passes through Oconee County.  According to the Rail Passengers Association, the American Rescue Plan COVID relief bill, passed by Congress and signed by President Biden, provides funding to allow the restoration of daily train route service.
