Mail has historically been a profit center for passenger trains. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well to operate a mail network with slow trains that on many routes pass by only once daily. In areas where there is greater frequency (such as certain corridors including the NEC) or no alternative transportation (Empire Builder route in certain areas) it would seem that mail by rail would make sense. I would expect that in time some of these areas will again see mail service via Amtrak. As to Express, that was an ill conceived idea that could never compete with either the freight roads or the UPS and other package shippers and truckers. <br /> <br />LC
