Oh, thank goodness it was hypothetical. The late Pioneer was and is such a can of worms even today here.... our delegation actually tried to get Amtrak to re-innaugurate this train a few years back as a Boise-Portland run. <br /> <br />Agh! I made darn sure my reps knew that trying to add another train while Amtrak is going bust, and in a small density corridor, was a bad bad mistake. <br /> <br />I tell you. I don't like mixing politics into this TOO much, because often partisan choices are emotional- I know people on both sides who I agree with, and the other way around too. It can get in the way if we only pay attention to affiliation. <br /> <br />Unfortunately that is often how Congress is. Sure would be nice to get Amtrak out of that and keep them from making it another porl barrell election football. <br /> <br />Did I mention: Agh! <br /> <br />(Hold onto your seats this fall!)
