Trains have been making news lately, both good and bad. Amtrak engineer Eric Peterson can relate.

Eric talks with Steve Kraske about Amtrak's new engines and how the recent commuter train derailment in Connecticut brings back memories of close calls he's experienced on the rails.

As senior producer of Up To Date, I want our listeners to hear familiar and new voices that shine light on the issues and challenges facing the myriad communities KCUR serves, and to expose our audiences to the wonderful and the creative in the Kansas City area. Just as important to me is an obligation to mentor the next generation of producers to ensure that the important conversations continue. Reach me at alexanderdk@kcur.org.
