[quote user="nyc#25"] Stop with the airline analogy!  More people ride these  trains between intermeadiate stations that have no  other transportation options. [/quote] Name one community served by Amtrak that does not have a highway. Name the communities served by Amtrak that don't have or could not have intercity bus service.  If Amtrak's long distance trains are vital for the nation's commercial passenger transport needs, how come the following Texas cities with populations of more than 100,000, to illustrate just one state, don't have Amtrak service: Abilene, Amarillo, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo, McAllen, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, and Wichita Falls.   Amtrak's long distance train system could go away tomorrow and most Americans would not even know it.  Having said that passengers trains make sense in relatively short, high density corridors where the cost to expand the highways and airways is prohibitive.
