Amtrak plans to continue operating Virginia Railway Express trains come June 28, instead of a rival French company, even though Amtrak’s contract will have expired.
The train service, which lost out on a contract renewal last fall to Keolis, has agreed to continue running the commuter trains that run from Northern Virginia into downtown Washington for two more weeks, according to both sides. The price tag for the extra service: about $335,000.
