I agree that passenger train service in the US is just not going to make a profit. Except for some short distance commuter movements, there is not enough demand. <br /> <br />In my opinion, trains are not competing with air planes. They are competing with buses. You would have to have alot of riders going the same place, on a very reliable schedule to make passenger rail profit. <br /> <br />I don't want tax dollars to prop up an industry when there isn't enough demand for it to work. Sorry if this upsets anyone, but I think it is the straight truth.
