Now this is more to the point. It's great to read the views of those who have an interest in railroading. <br /> <br />I'm actually not suprised to read that not all of us like, or want, passenger trains to exist with freight, or even exist at all because our taxes might be used for them. <br /> <br />And yes, the view that if you want to save passenger service then we and more new people ought to use it. I certainly do use it, as well as other local and regional rail providers. I have to, I can not and never will be able to drive since my vision, even corrected, will always be worse than what is allowed to drive. Besides, even if I could just get by, I know that I would be a hazard on the road to myself and others. <br /> <br />I'm selfishly a supporter of passenger rail. I'm proud to say so. I've flown and don't like it, even less now than before. Buses work if they are available where rail is not. But I have my own difficulty with the short seats. <br /> <br />I do hope though that consideration is honestly given to the issue. Once permanently lost, I fear, the connection from suburban/urban centers between States will not be reconnected. <br /> <br />Keep letting you thought be known. Support the rail you know and use. <br /> <br />Walter
