The second largest state in the union in population is Texas. Amtrak offers only one daily train, the north south Texas Eagle, and another trice weekly train, the east west Sunset Limited. While the lines drawn on a map might look pretty good, keep in mind that the connection in San Antonio is in the wee hours of the morning. Amtrak switches a sleeper and a coach car westbound, but wakes its riders up and throws its passengers off the train eastbound with no cover in case of bad weather and with the station closed.... If it wasn't for the efforts of our lady senator, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Texans would still be thrown off the train going westbound, which they have been for over 35 years..... It is a wonder anybody rides with such pitiful service. <br /> <br />We need to copy the Europeans, and study, design, and build a high speed rail network. Amtrak has to do better than averaging 30 mph in Texas is they want to increase ridership and turn a profit...... For starters, Amtrak needs to get off freight railroads right of way. The ongoing joke in Texas is you cannot spell stupid without a U and a P. <br /> <br />
