All speculation now over and one of Fred's candidates is named CEO of Amtrak.
Now comes the tough part, but he has a great "track record", pun intended.
Not sure I would have made that pick but not a big surprise. Best of luck Wick, congratulations!
I wish him the best, have always been rooting for Amtrak but we all know its an orphan with way too many medling foster parents. Good luck Wick, may the force be with you.
Maybe one of my pet theorys will be put to the test...
Put a steam engine on the point of an Amtrak train, call it a "ride," and you'll be swamped with ticket sales!
Go for it Wick!
Wick's real problem will be Congress, not Amtrak.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I'd like to think that next year's Congress will be a little more amenable to having somene who knows how to run a railroad, and actually Let. Him. Do. It.!
