Trains have played a major role in America’s history, and many say they’ll be even more important in the future. Host Bruce Gellerman heads out to Boston’s South Station to talk with Harvard professor John Stilgoe about the first annual National Train Day.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
