Rudy: Glad your message finally came through! While I agree with you that such an event is highly unlikely, (normally,) and undesireable as the confusion it may cause in many places could be damaging, it seems more likely to occur now more than ever. It seems that Amtrak will not receive it's commercial loan... and the FedGov will not clear it for emergency Federal supported loans. Without something soon... Gunn is threatening to make the decision in the coming weeks. Why is it you guys in Maryland are more critical of Amtrak than other NEC posters? What, is Acela service where you are not all it's cracked up to be, or sumptin? Anyway, on shutdown, we shall see.... I am unaware of how much non NEC commute service Amtrak handles, as CA is CalTrans, (aka CA-DOT), and Cascades is WA-DOT, MD is MARC, VA is VRE, etc etc.... Nevertheless it would be very disturbing.... and we do not have long to wait to find out if your prediction will come through. If it does, it will be because Congress fins a way for passing emergency money to Amtrak.
