Our 35th Annual Meeting welcomed Amtrak President Roger Harris as our keynote speaker. Mr. Harris is a proven leader with more than 25 years of experience in the transportation industry.

Since April 2019, Mr. Harris has served as Executive Vice President, Marketing and Revenue, and Chief Commercial Officer. In this role, he managed the Marketing, Loyalty, eCommerce, Product Development, and Pricing & Revenue Management functions, along with the Northeast Corridor, State Supported, and Long Distance Service Lines. Roger joined Amtrak in early 2019 as Vice President, Long Distance Service Line.

He spoke knowingly about the Downeaster's success and its various proposed projects - a new Portland Station on the Main Line and a pilot program between Brunswick and Rockland this summer. Introduced by TRNE President F. Bruce Sleeper, Mr. Harris took questions in a live thirty-minute session via the Internet. Below is an edited version of his time with us.

Our thanks to Mr. Harris and his support team for making this happen.

The Downeaster is one of Maine's success stories, thanks in large part to TrainRider/Northeast's vision and NNEPRA's creative and professional management!
