Has anyone yet realized that Amtrak is operated using 1930's logistics? Show me any other mode where passenger service is using 70 year old logistical operations. For that matter, show me any other mode where the federal government is providing passenger services. <br /> <br />The nation's proprietary closed access rail system is built, operated, and maintained to run mile long 10,000+ ton consists at an average speed of 25 mph. Passenger service, regardless of mode, needs to be fast, frequent, and flexible. Trying to mix passenger services in with today's U.S. rail system is like trying to mix oil and water. It is completely nonsensicle. <br /> <br />Without a high speed rail system, one in which door to door transit times can beat door to door highway times regardless of the distance, the idea of passenger rail is a no go.
