<p>Prior to Amtrak were there any heavy railroads, other than the Long Island Railroad, that were dependent primarily on passenger revenues as opposed to freight revenues to earn a return for their investors?  I dont' consider Interurban  operations as heavy rail, although some of them had the characteristics of heavy rail.</p> <p>Did any of the major railroads earn a profit on their passenger operations?  Some trains covered their costs and may have contributed something to net income, but my impression is that most of the railroads rarely if ever made any money on their total passenger operations.</p>
