For those that think Amtrak has "gotten too much fed money" - look at this chart, which shows how many BILLIONS have been dumped into AIR and HIGHWAYS - which lose TONS of money. http://www.narprail.org/fund2.htm Yet Amtrak has only gotten less and less over the years. Amtrak is constantly derided by so-called "railfans" and "railforaders" - right - they disgrace their profession by hating trains - on this board by people who think less means more. I'm not going to let them continue to lie about Amtrak. "Since we've given so much money to Amtrak, why, it should have a larger market share," etc. They actually think a skeletal system should be improving its market share. How can THAT happen when it isn't given proper resources to do the job? Let's stiff highways and airports the same way we've cheated Amtrak. Let's consistently gut funding for road building and air traffic systems over the next three decades. Let's then see how good the roads become and how crappy air service deterioriates. You get what you pay for.
