A message from the President of FCRP

National Train Day was a huge event for not only Amtrak but for NARP as well as FCRP. We gained allot of exposure with this function and most importantly helped draw attention to rail passenger service.

One of the main highlights if not the most important one was hearing a proclamation read by a liaison Elaine Mc Cloud from Mayor Iorio's office. This proclamation is now on display inside Tampa Union Station for all whom pass through its doors to see.

As president of FCRP I would like to commend the following people in the great organization for going out of there way to make this a resounding success.

Jackson McQuigg Narp Director / Secretary FCRP
Jason Sanford First VP of FCRP
Jim Langston Director of special functions FCRP
Bob Stewart VP of southeast region for NARP
John and Barn Thomas Board member and Treasurer FCRP
John McQuigg Board member & pro tem newsletter editor FCRP

Amtrak staff & crew were also to be commended for there unselfish efforts above & beyond the call.

Thank you again for the wonderful success we had.
