"The sun has riz, and the sun has set, and we aint out of Texas yet". I learned that living in Dallas, so I too am a misplaced Texan- that said its a long d____ way from anywhere in Texas to anywhere else. I don't think you have a realistic idea of the finances that Gunn has to work with- or the vision of the Bush administration that has had it out for Amtrak for years. Maintaining the staus quo is a miracle sometimes. ( I too, am embarrased that Bush is from Texas, though I aint posing nude like the Chicks did- great picture though) <br /> <br />What I don't see is Texas putting up any money for your day time train from Dallas to Houston. Here in NC we have bought the equipment to free us from Amtrak equipment problems, own the track from Charlotte to Raleigh and points east and pay amtrak for two and in the next few years three trains a day. its been a real fight to keep the money in the budget, but we have a vision and the support has been there to fight off the highway boys. When Austin puts up the cash, and not Rick Perry's dream scheme, I'll change my mind. <br /> <br />
