Amtrak is, unfortunately a quasi-governmental entity, as any government contracts go, there is a whole lot of "fixing", and "politics". Ever hear the story of the "$500:00 toilet seats"? <br />Yes, it is true. Congress will dump ungodly amounts of taxpayers dollars for personal gains within their constituancy. I say we should make the various senators and congressmen take Amtrak on ALL their "stateside" travels, no more chartered jets, no more limos, just good old Amtrak. For at least a full year. THEN, perhaps they could finally get a grasp on reality. If the government really wants Amtrak to survive, they need to experience Amtrak. But, as I said, since 1971, it's all been just "smoke-and-mirrors". <br />Anything for a vote. But comes time for action, Amtrak is the "black sheep of the family". <br />And, as Walter Cronkite used to say, "That's the way it is". <br /> Todd C.
