[quote user="PNWRMNM"] Only in America do you see private railroads supporting a government rail service through theft of rail capacity.[/quote] At least in 1970 the Amtrak deal must have looked good to the passenger railroads of the time. Not participating would have meant four more years of passenger traffic according to the 1970 status with the following ICC abandonment procedure and eventual law suits. Fixed in the Amtrak-law. The loss in passenger traffic was $449.5 million in 1970. So the railroads saved $1.8 billion by being able to cancel passenger traffic immediately without the ICC procedure. And the get access charges. Stealing? Regards, Volker
