Well the trains you propose- Portland-Chicago- aren't competitive anyway so they wouldn't be the core business of a new passenger system that is rationalized based on ridership. Your points on Colorado and an intra state system? Well if you don't like that policy, then take it up with your Leg or Governor. Guess what? Here in Oregon the situation is the same, precisely. We have only one intra-state route (not counting the Starlate)- a daily Portland-Eugene Talgo train, 100% courtesy Amtrak and Feds. Why not two? Because our Leg doesn't make it a priority. Well fine! If that's how the people in the state feel, then no trains. If we really need them that much then we'll have to get worked up about it and get on the phone to the state captiol. What I'd ask is, if there isn't enought outcry by the populace of Colorado (or Oregon) to produce trains, then why should the rest of the country pay to build us or you a system? That's like someone not fixing their own roof, because they're too cheap, and then expecting the city to come by and pay to have your roof fixed for your own good. Hey, if i want raindrops on my head then that's my problem. And if Oregon and Colorado don't want passenger trains, then that's our problem. Don't make it Rhode Island's problem too.
