Alexander, Yes I think Amtrak would have to abandon all but a small portion of its commuter rail to make a profit alone. In the spring, summer and fall, they may be able to operate trains from one major city to another but this would be treated similar to a charter flight or bus. They may even get into the 'land cruise' buisness as they have been accused. But scheduled interstate passenger service would cease to exist in the short run. But from this seed, Amtrak could do market research and find the routes which could make money. They would build and operate those routes which had the appropriate level of demand. In my opinion it is the federal relationship which stands in the way of real reform. - Ed
