<p>[quote user="NKP guy"]</p> <h3>If Amtrak eliminates its long-distance routes, there will be <i>no</i> reason for <i>any</i> Congressional support for Amtrak outside of the few states in the Northeast Corridor. Absent that support, Amtrak will die in a few short years, leaving transportation chaos in its wake. Is that good for the country? Is that what some contributors to this Forum want? Will that put the country on a sound fiscal footing? <span style="font-weight: normal;">[/quote]</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: normal;">Not necessarily! The Congress is a collection of horse traders. Figuratively speaking! Members from states where passenger rail corridors make sense could trade support, i.e. we will support additional highway, waterway, air services, etc. in your states if you support expanded passenger rail in our states where it makes sense.</span></p>
