Amtrak makes sense between Boston & Washington and a few other corridors. The long distance trains are lumbering dinosaurs- hugely inefficient and too costly. The only reason they haven't died is because congress doesn't want to mess with all us RR fans who are sentimental about the remaining passinger trains. Also the rather small number of people who won't or can't travel any other way would make a huge stink. I love to ride a train every now and then. I love to see the big California mixed trains dragging their big, awkward, funky, old butts past my house every day in and out of Chicago. But I don't think it's reasonable to ask taxpayers to keep subsidizing our dreamtime. Tony Phillips
