North America is unique in its subsidies of airlines, air controllers, airports & screening personnel, minuscule landing fees; vs property taxes, a freight oriented mentality ( Pandora's Box in itself), the sacred cow of speed being essential, an administration that backs up air service no matter what while essentially ignoring rail service, freight schedules that DO delay passenger trains, only one Auto-train - - - and that is just scraping the surface. True costs and efficiencies need homework to be revealed. And how many are in favor of putting a lot of those Interstate-hogging semis on the railroad? <br />No one likes to wait in line to be screened, sit in a seat made for midgets, go through boaring and deplaning like a herd of catle, to ride in a cigar-shaped dehumanizing vehicle. They do it because they are in a hurry. And they have to give a little on the speed end when the weather is uncooperative, when some bean-counter disallows connections between flights because of said weather delays and lets people go whistle until the next flight. Great way to live if you like association with sardines. <br />Edna St. Vincent Millay is not the only one who enjoys trains, for many, many reasons. <br />JD McFarland
