I suspect only a handful actually do, and that's probably a generous 'guestimate'. It's ironic that none of the politicians wants to speak too loudly about actually slaughtering Amtrak, yet they b*tch and moan about what it will cost to keep it on life-support--and giving it a last minute reprieve. Pity Mr. Dunn; what's he to do when faced with two-faced monsters across the table? I'd like to tell the boys in D. C. to put up or shut up. This bickering year after fiscal year has grown tiresome. <br /> <br />RIDE THE TRAINS--AND GIVE YOUR CARS A BREAK, AMERICA![soapbox] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I know that all the DE politicans (Biden, Carper and Castle) ride the Acela to DC to commute. I was also in the local Amtrak station when Lieberman arrived to campaign. <br />[/quote] <br />Really now...well that's cool. Very cool. That's enough to make me pack my backs and move to Delaware! I applaud Biden, Carper & Castle. I wonder what their individual impressions are of ACELA service? If it's positive, I would hope they'd use whatever influence they wield to encourage the addition of other high-speed rail corridors in other parts of the country. [:)]
