First off to say let the railroads take the trains back> DREAM ON. Don't you remember why AMTRAK was formed. <br />As long as the goverment pays for Aor Traffic Controlers, Taxpayer subsidized airports, how can trains be expected to operate in the black or even close to breaking even. <br />I just retired after 43 years total railroad service and I would never tell my children, grand children or friends to hire out on the railroads of today. <br /> <br />If management had to operate under same rules and regulations today as 30 or 40 years ago they could not do it. <br />I hired out on the Great Northern and than worked the last 34 years for the Chicago Northwestern/Union Pacific. <br />It was no as fun as most of the fellow employees said for the last 15 years. <br /> <br />
