Скачать или смотреть Alexandria Rail Upgrade: Faster Commutes, More Amtrak, New VRE Weekend Service

STOP scrolling if you commute or travel by train out of Alexandria.
Your daily ride is about to get faster, smoother, and far more reliable.

In this video, Faith & Leah break down the massive transformation coming to Alexandria’s rail system. The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) has officially broken ground on multiple projects that will reshape train travel across Northern Virginia.

Here’s what’s changing:
• 13 state-supported Amtrak roundtrips (up from 8)
• Expanded VRE service, including new weekend trains
• Alexandria Fourth Track Project to separate passenger + freight lines
• Removal of major bottlenecks and chronic delay points
• A long-term increase in overall rail capacity, speed, and reliability

Why it matters:
Separating freight and passenger trains means fewer delays, smoother scheduling, and a fundamentally more predictable commute. For thousands of Alexandria riders—this may be the biggest improvement in a decade.
