[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />If this were the early 1980s, perhaps a "Pre-Evacuation could have been facilitated as Amtrak's fleet was actually larger. There were plenty of heritage fleet cars that were rebuilt. <br /> <br />However, as pointed out before, getting train crews, arranging dispatching schedules, etc., would likely prove very difficult. Add the fact that so called "redundant" rail routes have been scaled back or eliminated <br /> <br />Passenger rail still has great potential in this country but with the current mindset in Washington and our rail systems infrastructure, it's doubtful it will see its true potential realized. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />As Antonio is pointing out, it is not Amtrak who had its head in the sand, it the the crowd in DC that does. <br />
