I don't need to read everyones' opinions about what Amtrak should or should not be. Face the facts, NO ONE WANTS US...INCLUDING THE MANAGEMENT AND THE 'SO CALLED' BOARD OF DIRECTORS!!! Just as the public was so gullable to be convinced that Iraq was going to attack any day now, the same holds true for Amtrak. All you read or hear in the media is how much money Amtrak looses each year. You never hear about the amount of money our government waste on special projects that don't benefit humanity in the least. We can throw money to under-developed countries (or even developed ones) with no questions of when we'll get a return on it. Yet, Amtrak is always being told, we must show a return on the money it's given. In other countries outside of the US and Canada, their rail systems are operated as an essential service, just like the police and fire departments are an essential service. This country doesn't view Amtrak or any railroad in the same manner, eventhough it was 'US' that carried the bulk of every emergency personnel to where they were needed 'DURING AND AFTER' the terrorists' attack on our nation. It was the freight railroads that transported much of the military equipment to the ports during almost every war this country has been involved in. Face facts people, the public which we serve is unappreciative and spoiled. Yet, to all you railroaders out there, GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU!! <br /> <br /> <br />Glenn <br />A R E A L RAILROADER...A TRUE AMERICAN!!!
