[quote user="NKP guy"] Same topic, but different thread name. Funny, but the biggest enemies of Amtrak, long-distance trains included, are right here in this forum.  I suggest that the general public knows little and cares less about Amtrak, if they think of it at all.  Long distance trains and the much-vaunted corridor trains beloved by many here, are all the same to  the general public.   I think John Q. Public is more favorably disposed to Amtrak than many contributors here.  How infinitely sad and discouraging to this railfan. And if Amtrak dies from lack of support, a whole bunch of people here can write in FOR YEARS on what Amtrak should have done better.  Imagine!  Arguing with each other for years.....just like we do on so many picayune topics.  Maybe THEN the bean-counters among us will be happy, but I doubt it. [/quote] If Amtrak dies something will take its place, especially in the relatively short, high density corridors. If there is a market for a service, someone will fill it.  This is fundamental economics. Look at all the airlines (Eastern, Pan American, etc.) that have died. Their place has been taken because there was and is a demand for air service in the markets that they served.
