If "social service" is the justification for long distance trains, then large parts of the country are not being served properly.  The system needs to be expanded greatly.In Texas, where I live, 15 large and medium size cities do not have daily train service, which presumably is the minimum required to meet this social need.  Abilene, Amarillo, Beaumont, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Denton, El Paso, Houston, Laredo, Lubbock, McAllen, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, and Wichita Falls should have expanded or new passenger train service.  Adequate service for the cities served by the Sunset Limited could be provided by daily operation of the Sunset.  But new trains would be required for Abilene, Amarillo, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Denton, Laredo, Lubbock, McAllen, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, and Wichita Falls.  Hmm!  I wonder who would pay for it, since very few Texans use the two daily trains - Texas Eagle and Heartland Flyer - that serve Texas.
