[quote user="daveklepper"] I continue to believe that the USA gets its money's worth from existing subisidization levels of long distance trains in general.   Elimination of such trains would be real blow to tourism's contribution to the economy, a blow to the mobility of many handicapped and elderly people, many of whom are veterans, reduce the country's ability to handle specific emergencies including problems with the nation's air transportation system, and make the operation of the remaining corredor services less efficient because of their separation from each other, [/quote] If mobility for handicapped and elderly peeople is a justification for long distance trains, then the government should run these trains to every community in the United States with a population of 10,000 or more.  Actually, it probably would be more cost effective to provide van service to every community in the country with a need to enhance the mobility of the handicapped and elderly people.
