JBToy...For being your first pay trip on the forum I think ya dun good. <br />This has been one helluva problem since May 1st, 1971. Filled with prejudice, and every other manner of strife. <br />Perhaps we should shut down Amtrak and retire the name, The very next day start a well funded International House of Passenger Trains and re-think the whole deal. <br />Pan Am is gone, TWA is gone, Braniff and Eastern were abandoned, the Concorde made its last pay trip, a new trolley with old equipment has just started up in Charlotte, NC, and you can still book a room on a train from Chicago to New York. If you asked someone in 1971 to recite this as a prediction for transportation life in the year 2004, they would have been laughed out of town as everyone tuned in on the Brady Bunch. There's interest and a desire for something better in rail travel out there. <br />Mitch
