This isn't meant to start a corridor v. LD debate, but interesting how Amtrak itself says the LD trains cost only $70- $300 million a year. Amtrak requests $1.8 billion. A majority of that funding, therefore, goes to the expensive money-losing corridor trains, capital needs of the NEC and RR retirement needs. <br /> <br />The LD trains aren't obsolete, any more than LD driving or LD buses or SHORT-DISTANCE flights. They all have a purpose and are used.
