National Train Day, Warren Buffett Freight Agenda
National Train Day, scheduled for May 8th, is identified as a public relations campaign managed by Hill & Knowlton. The true agenda is argued to be the promotion of freight rail to benefit Warren Buffett's Burlington Northern Santa Fe acquisition, rather than passenger travel. Actor Taye Diggs is serving as the celebrity spokesperson for the event.
