Ed, I agree and disagree with you. I think that a national rail system is key to the country. If another emergency happens and the planes are grounded for a few days, the only way to get anywhere would be by train or car. <br /> <br />If running long-distance isn't feasible anymore, then maybe the routes can be broken into segments. For instance, the California Zephyr could break down into the following parts: <br /> <br />Chicago-Omaha <br />Omaha-Denver <br />Denver-Emeryville <br /> <br />Each segment would have trains going between the points each day. <br /> <br />I would also like to see some form of regional commuter rail run from Omaha, through either Des Moines or Ames, to the Quad Cities, and on into Chicago. Maybe it could even be high-speed (I know, wishful thinking).
