Wkhey, <br /> <br />Sounds like we agree on more than I thought. I guess you know how deeply I think AMTK is in trouble because they don't appear to even want to consider going it alone without the government. <br /> <br />I think the best scenario I can come up with involves AMTK cutting service temporarily on almost all long haul service. They could offer a charter passenger service for groups that can afford it, like a bunch of boy scouts on the west coast needing to get to the east coast for a summer jamboree. It appears there is inadequate demand for regular scheduled long haul passenger rail service. AMTK could build on their apparent success in the NEC when demand is adequate to make the commitment. <br /> <br />I remember a few years back when AMTK was offering summer passes for a modest price. If I had the vacation time, I would have bought two and toured the country. I imagine that would have opened my eyes about AMTK. I have heard many complaints about their service. - Ed
