Dru, <br />If you read my post, I stated its my opinion that most people that live in this country dont know anything about railroads, their whole perception about the industry is based on what happened 40-50 yrs ago. The publics only contact with railroads is with Amtrak or waiting at a grade crossing for a train. The general perception is that the industry is dying, and is no longer a "player in the transportation network". Although we know better, most people are not railfans and consequently Amtrak is their only contact with the industry. It only makes sense that a revitalized Amtrak would do wonders for the railroads PR. If railroads were to be more visable to the public through a improved Amtrak, the public would be more aware of the contribution that they make to everyday life. This, in the long run, can only be a good thing for us as railroaders or railfans.
