By all means keep the passenger railroad - but it needs to be rebuilt. Has anyone here ever rode on a passenger train in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Japan or Canada? If you have not then you must because you will see and experience first hand how well governments can "run" the railroad. In life you get what you pay for and in the case of the United States , we have put in just enough money so the train does not run out of gas. There is enormous potential here. The interstate highway system is done, the skies are overcrowded. Amtrak needs to be and should be rebuilt and retooled. We need a leader to throw down the gauntlet to build the best passenger railroad system in the world. If the United States can put a man on the moon, we can build the best passenger train system. Everybody wins. The man who invented the MAG-LEV(magneticlevitation) technology was an American. The Reagan administration said that it was too expensive to develope. The Europeans took it and ran! Our passenger trains are a national disgrace. The potential for greatness is here. Beautiful terminals are located all across the United States. As passenger trains go - so goes the country. Rebuild!!
