I am all for passenger rail travel in the US, in fact I think it is totaly unfair that the government spends billions a year on interstates, which trucking and bus companys use , yet spends a fraction on railroads which keep this country alive. Wouldn't you just love to see convoys of 400 or more dumptrucks loaded with coal heading down the freeway to your local powerplant. Countrys like Japan, France , and Germany have huge rail budgets and serve most if not all citys with high speed rail. In these countrys nobody would dream of flying a short distace like New York to D.C. as it is much faster to ride the trains. Here we have one high speed line on which trains can only actualy run high speed in a few places. I would ride amtrak all the time If I could but since I live in columbus ohio and would have to drive 2 hours or more to get to the closest amtrak station it is not practical. I hope that this changes in the neer future. If amtrak is going to survive, I think it needs to bring service back to more of the country. I know that it is faced with upgrading the NEC and other large projects but that is why I belive that the government needs to spend more money on amtrak and other railroads.
