Dru, <br />There are plenty of people out there who couldnt give a hoot about Nebraska and the UP. They are interested in the whole picture. Do you think that if Amtrak was eliminated that it wouldnt effect the rest of the industry? Most Americans still have the image of a dying industry in their minds from the 60s and 70s and really have no knowledge of railroading other than Amtrak. If Amtrak was allowed to compete on a level field with the Airlines and highways for support you would see a real change in attitudes towards it from the general public, and perhaps a realization that the rail industry is still vitally needed in this country. As fans, we sometimes forget that in many minds the railroads are as outdated in transportation needs as the Pony Express, a revitalized Amtrak could be the catalyst to change this perception.
