WE support Amtrak in our household, but Amtrak makes it very difficult. We live in DeKalb, Illinois, the only city in Illinois with a State University, the second largest, NIU, and no Amtrak Service because the UP/CNW fought it off years ago. <br />My wife and I ride the International about twice per year between Chicago and Toronto. Sometimes the train is a capacity train, and sometimes it is about half full much of the way. Now they want to discontinue it. Since we have been riding it, the start time out of Chicago has gotten later by about an hour nad the start time returning from Toronto has moved back almost two hours or so earlier. The train is poorly advertised and Customs/DHS loves to hassle people coming into the US. Now it will be discontinued unless someone fights for it and gets Mr. Gunn and Congress to reconsider. It will be the second train I know of to be discontinued recently, the first being the Louisville train out of Chicago with its goofy schedule at 35mph through Indiana. How can Amtrak survive when it manages like this?
