Less than 100 years ago, a narrow-gauge short line railroad once served the Dunwoody community, connecting it to a major thoroughfare between Charlotte and Atlanta.

Amtrak’s current station in Atlanta is hindering the railroad’s ability to improve the performance of the one passenger train that serves the city, the railroad said in a recent report.

On a recent jaunt to Washington, D.C., on Amtrak’s Crescent, I noticed something on the train’s lead Genesis unit.
