Washington DC area railroad commuting schedules: July 1972

 A two page newsletter from the Maryland organization, Rail Ways of America, promoting passenger railroad service, with a focus on commuting.  Probably the organization ended up becoming Rail Passengers Maryland, affiliated with the National Association of Rail Passengers.

Commuting services existed from West Virginia to DC and between Baltimore and Washington.  Non-commuting rail service did connect Richmond and Charlottesville to DC.  The association called on Northern Virginia to advocate for commuter service, to not give into "automobile masochism."

About 20 years later, the Virginia Railway Express launched service on June 22nd, 1992.
