Why don't you look north of our border. VIA rail, the Canadian national passenger railroad, is upgrading its tracks and buying new engines and cars for their passenger trains to be finished by 2004. <br /> <br />Of course, they have killed their transcontinental train. BC is still running trains in BC, but VIA operates now mostly east of Toronto. Notice that it is Amtrak that runs trains to Boston, Detroit, and to New York City from Montreal and Toronto. <br /> <br />Is Canada attempting to run a train to everyone? Not any longer. Nevertheless, Canada is still offering passenger trains to more than 75 percent of its people. <br /> <br />Amtrak should think in the same light.
