Over the past three years, the Millennial Trains Project has crossed the southern, northern and central United States, and engaged with 20 communities along the way. The trips average about seven days. The current journey has Albuquerque as the fourth of five cities being visited, along with Pittsburgh, Chicago, Kansas City and Los Angeles.After meeting with the group, Berry said he was impressed by the young people he met and was confident in the next generation of leaders.“They care deeply, are ambitious and altruistic, but very pragmatic,” he said.
