[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Colin I don't understand how any railfan or rail advocate could vote for the anti passenger rail Bush Admin. and radical right Republican Congress. Maybe Amtrak and the NEC might broken up into Train operating companies ala the British Privatization scheme. The Bushies might tout the fact that UK railridership is up over 40% since privatization. to sell it the Frosk?Delay Congress. [/quote] Colin, you must concede that it is entirely logical for one to be both a railfan and a critic of AMTRAK. Conversely, I'm sure there are many pro-AMTRAK types out there who despise the freight railroads. Any person who works for or supports private industry (including the railroad industry) will have at least a tacit support for a business friendly Administration and Congress. Being business friendly is not "radical right", it is mainstream political thought. I do like your point on privatization of the NEC, but I don't believe that will happen without some form of public support. A privatized NEC would be a good model for an open access experiment.
