Amtrak still hasn't received next year's budget from Congress, yet. <br /> <br />Hopefully Mr. Gunn noticed it takes a long time to cross this continent on a train. Instead of serving us several slow transcontinental trains, Amtrak should be serving the area east of the Rockies with high speed trains able to reach the end of the line in less than 9 hours. <br /> <br />Amtrak especially needs to service Texas better. After all Texas is the second largest state in the country, and in thirty years Texas will probably pass California by. <br /> <br />While we have a slow train to Chicago (Midwest), and a slow train to California and Florida, Texas desperately needs a train to serve directly the Northeast Corridor (New York City). Furthermore we are still waiting for the local to Houston from Dallas, the two closest large cities in America without a direct passenger rail link! <br /> <br />
