Paul: I apologize, I wasn't clear. The states out here don't pay for their trains 100%, which is the impression I inadvertantly gave. Rather, the states have to provide a level of funding almost matching federal funds. So the NEC states don't have to pay for even part of the system, but we do have to pay for part of ours. As for the expenses on NEC, for one, electrification should have been dropped long ago for exactly the reason you state. Unfortunately it is the economies of inertia here. And now with investments in Acela it garauntees at least another decade of overheads. Alexander Craghead
