Bureauacy has managed to take a transport system at least a dozen times more efficient than freeway travel and turn it into a national drain as well as pain. A clearer picture of what a business, run by congressman, looks like, should not be asked for. <br /> However, the inevitable Amtrak implosion suggests the possibility of a loosening stranglehold on 'roads that belong to us all as much as the highways. And with it the hope/ambition that passenger rail availabilty can be restored to former levels and then surpassed through technology already on the shelves. It would be a practical and non-litigious replevin to see all those lovely old stations still dotted around the country reanimated with people and new kinds of railcraft. Just for starters. <br /> Please advise if you have e-links to folks who are working on this or if you would like to be, yourself. There's little room for duplication of effort or shyness in this move if any of us is to get a decent ride any time soon. And at a cost that does not include foreign fuel purveyors.
