Currently train travel in America is slow compared to train travel in Europe. Of course, the governments of Europe have invested into high speed rail, and providing separate tracks for passenger trains and freight trains. We can easily do the same. All it takes is the will of the American people and its government....... <br /> <br />The real waste is the government program to build free interstate highways...... The real waste is the goverment programs to support aviation..... To even think that the crumbs Amtrak gets from our government is waste is ridicious. Counting all of Amtrak's customers and comparing Amtrak's ridership with the airlines nationwide, Amtrak comes in seventh place..... 24 million riders last year..... <br /> <br />Compare this cost to the government costs of keeping an army of customs located in Miami serving even fewer cruise line passengers...... We have a bargain with Amtrak.....
