Keith: Wouldn't be surprised if we do get there, someday. After all, whatever becoems of Amtrak, I doubt that the passenger train is really "dead". It may be about to undergo a rough -- and I mean ROUGH -- change, but I'll bet we will still have passenger trains operating, say, 5 or 10 years from now, much less further out. The big question is how to accompli***he transition, how to change Amtrak to operate in the new environment, and how to build that new track environment. Freeway building started in, what? 1946? 49? And the Eisenhauer plan went in in the early 50s. But the bulk of construction didn't take place for another ten years, with significant gaps still being filled in the 60s and 70s. Even today, there are segments uncompleted, or cancelled. So building the same scale project, for rail, may take just as long. Now hold onto your hat, this October is going to be a bumpy, poltically and emotionally charged ride! (And I'll be I'll be seeing you again then!) See ya around, Alexander
