I support AMTRAK and will ride it when I can. I hate flying anymore. The hub system has taken me miles and hours out of my way and the arilines pack you in like sardines. The last time I flew down to Houston from Chicago, I spent the return trip with my back bent at a 45 degree angle because the guy next to me resembled Jobba the Hut and the seats on airplanes are designed for anorexics! By the time we landed at O'Hare, I was in serious pain and didn't stop hurting until the next day. <br /> <br />I do think that the track and ROW maintenance ought to be publicly funded and improved substantially. I'd also like to see some more high speed corridors in other parts of the country. Right now it takes me 4 hours or so to get to the Des Moines area to visit my sis and the train station is in some little tank town. It would be so much better if the train could average 90 mph and stop in downtown Des Moines! <br /> <br />
