I’m passing along the following press release from Metro for those who might be interested:
METRO TO UNVEIL WRAPPED RAIL CAR PROMOTING SAFETY
WHAT: The NEW METRO will unveil a rail car wrapped in a bumper-to-bumper decal promoting safety along rail lines.
WHEN: 9 a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011
WHERE: METRO’s Rail Operations Center, 1601 W. Bellfort St.
WHO: METRO Board Chairman Gilbert Garcia; METRO Board members Judge Dwight Jefferson and Allen Watson; and, METRO President & CEO George Greanias. Joining METRO are special guests Houston City Council members Brenda Stardig and Wanda Adams, and Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland and other local law enforcement representatives.
