Get rid or rethink Amtrak

Mitch's blame should then go towards the freight railroads, since freight-related delays have risen astronomically in the past decade. <br /> <br />Amtrak adjusts its schedules based on freight interference and delays. <br />If in doubt about this, check the performance and running times of the Southwest Chief, Empire Builder, Sunset Limited, Coast Starlight and California Zephyr west of Denver. <br />The first two are generally impecable whilst the others generally run on rails hosted by a hostile railroad. <br /> <br /> (It would be interesting to see how cheerful these railfans will be if that hostile railroad starts treating them the same way it treats Amtrak.). <br /> <br />Blaming Amtrak for such problems is like blaming the renter for a landlord's problems! <br />Except the landlord, in this case, usually escapes any scrutiny. <br />
