[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dbasenberg</i> <br /><br />Come on folks, the Bush Administration is trying to end Amtrak. Why are we not writing about that. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Because many of us have come to believe that these tax funded betterments have spoiled us as true and strong Americans. <br /> <br />In the ownership era of America, passenger trains should only be run for those that can afford to hook a private car to the locomotive - not to those of us that can only reserve a seat in someone else's railcar. <br /> <br />I also find it equally sad. <br /> <br />Once the federal mandate for service is gone from the tracks of the class one railroads via the elimination of Amtrak, the peoples access will also be gone for any economical train service. <br /> <br />Jim <br /> <br />
