Who cares if passenger rail disappears ?

I don't... It should be left to individual states to determine whether local passenger rail is a benefit or not. <br /> <br />I'm from Seymour, Indiana and we recently lost the Amtrak Cardinal train to Louisville, KY (or whatever it was called). No one cares that train is gone. <br /> <br />No one traveled on that train, as you'd had to drive down to Louisville or Indy to even get on it. Once you did get on it, it went about 30 miles per hour. By the time where you got where you wanted to go, you'd have a beard, gray hair, or maybe both. <br /> <br />I also live in NYC. I can't imagine life in New York City without the subway train system. I use Amtrak all the time to travel to D.C. or to Philly. <br /> <br />So let the chips fall where they may, but realistically passenger train travel only belongs where there is sufficient population to make it economical to offer such service. <br /> <br />
