I see what you mean Sam5775. True the old passenger trains did have express cars behind the engine.But one difference they where equiped with <br />extra hoses and electrical conections between the cars for head end power. And these cars for loading and unloading at each station. When you <br />trail roadrailer and box cars at end. You have the <br />luxury of disconecting them and leaving the entire <br />car or cars and picking up new ones at any station Amtak perfers. I believe Amtrak will prevail awhile longer.But it takes the freight railroads <br />to help them out and work with them to make a difference to there survival and the people to get <br />off the airplanes and see what America looks like <br />beside looking down from jetplane window. I took <br />my elderly mother on one last train ride arcoss <br />the states see the rest my family. This country <br />don't know what there missing. Each family has to try it just once....
