Al I agree about the "can't do" attitude. I think a lot of the "can't do" folks are looking backwards at the economics of passenger trains over the last 50 years and projecting the same scenario on the next 50 years. But the world is changing. Energy efficient, environmentally friendly technologies are the wave of the future, and modern passenger trains are ideally suited for that future. Ageing baby boomers will be looking for more comfortable and relaxed ways to travel, and trains can tap into that emerging market. Highways are more hectic than ever, and airline travel ain't exactly glamourous anymore. Trains have the potential to provide a comfortable, convenient and competitive alternative. Some people say "why?" I say "why not?"
