<p>In FY13 the State Supported and Other Short Distance Trains lost $180.8 million before depreciation and interest. The loss was partially offset by state capital payments of $37.3 million.</p> <p>Through June FY14 the State Supported and Other Short Distance Trains had lost approximately $62 million, offset by state capital payments of approximately $51 million. The difference could be due to timing. Also, I am not sure that all of the short distance trains are state supported.</p> <p>At the end of the day, however, it does not matter whose pocket the money comes out of. The State Supported and Other Short Distance Trains don't cover their operating costs. Whether the federal government takes my money or Texas takes it, I don't have it.</p>
