Question about Chap Petersen
I know about his train plan, and I know it will take a while to be implanted but will this plan enable someone from say here in Northern Va to go to perhaps Blacksburg or Harrisonberg or whatever, since I will be a college student next year and I dont drive well yet but prefer the rails to driving but many of my friends will be attending college in the southwest part of the state, a part I rather not drive to but I of course wanna see my pals.

1. From his website
In the same vein, the creation of a high-speed passenger rail link between Hampton Roads, Richmond and Northern Virginia will take thousands of automobiles off the road -- and tie together those sister communities in a way that our forefathers would have envisioned.

That's about all I've seen of his plan. So there's no telling if he's expanded or even changed what locations would be connected. It appears only to link up high congested areas at this point.
