QUOTE: Originally posted by Dunkirkeriestation Well If it were not for Amtrak there would be no passenger trains in this country. Public subsidy of transit is a given. As a railfan I love all trains and to lose passenger trains would be a blow to railfandom because there would be no way to pass on our great heritage to our children.Amtrak also provides a way for the elderly and disabled to get around in comfort rather then be stuffed into a bus or plane. It is fact that "Baby Boomers" are aging and like or not they are going to need public transport to get around as more become incapable of driving. Also Mr CSX how did railroads dispatch freight when they ran there own trains? You will find that much of the excess capacity was cut by Peralman and other railroad executives. As a man I love to watch women and get into relationships with them[:I]. As a railfan I love to watch trains and ride them. If there suddenly were no women and no passenger trains I dont know how long I would want to live in such a world were I could only see pictures of women and trains but not get to ride and the see the real thing in the flesh.
