Since the fiscal year started back at the first of October, any significant cut in late January or early February would result in a complete shutdown. Yet, I have a feeling that if the cut is very small, say $1 billion or $1.1 billion instead of the $1.2 billion, Mr. Gunn might have the ability to save the northeast corridor. However, I do not think the Senate will fund just the northeast corridor: It is either all or none. <br /> <br />If the Senate and the House agreeded before the fiscal year, say in late August or early September, Amtrak would have had the opportunity to cut half of the routes and keep half of the routes. But it is much too late, now, literally one quarter of the way through the fiscal year to do such a cut.
