<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>It doesn't matter what Amtrak is supposed to be by defninition. By existance it is a toy, a pawn, a buracracy, a political entity under the charge of the Congress of the United States. Thus, no matter what it is, it can't be efficient and profitable, only a punching bag.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote] </p> <p>This is the best argument that I have seen to date to eliminate Amtrak and replace it, where feasible, with privatized companies to operate passenger rail in corridors where they make sense. Even if the government has to subsidize the operators, as it surely would, it would be a better arrangement than a government run passenger rail system.</p>
