Yes, a train cannot compete with the airlines long distances. But a train can compete with the cars long distances. We already know a train can compete with the airlines and cars short distances. <br /> <br />I am of the opinion that high speed trains averaging 150 mph can compete with the cars. We are tired of driving in gridlock long and short distances. No one looks forward to driving from Dallas to Chicago. The road trip is not what it once was...everytime one closes in to a major metropolitan area, there is gridlock.... <br /> <br />While I might agree that Amtrak needs to rethink its business, I will support a new high speed Amtrak.... And as I have posted before, the freeways do not make money for the federal government either.
