As I have said before, Amtrak should be a national system, not local. Amtrak should have the vision to build the long runs between NEC, Midwest, Texas, and Florida. To keep the west coast happy, between the Bay area and LA. <br /> <br />The only trains Amtrak should be operating today are the trains routes scheduled for upgrading to high speed rail. The rest should be killed. The longest leg in America I suggested will be around 900 miles. On every leg there are cities larger than 1 million in population. On every leg there are hub cities with at least 5 million in metropolitan population. Look at the census, look at the maps, this is the future..... <br /> <br />Get this, our DOT spent last year $7 billion for local rail and bus systems, and will again this year. Isn't it about time DOT spent $7 billion a year for a high speed rail Amtrak network I suggest?
