New idea how to run our nations Passenger Rail bus

It is an idea brewing for a while. Turning the long hauls into autoveyer trains (also serving major locations enroute for nonauto-toting passengers) dovetails nicely into the railroad's intermodal operational infrastructure. Railroad intermodal yards are natural sites to double as autoveyer ramp/terminals, and the intermodal freight trains run at similar-to-passenger train speeds. <br /> <br />The high speed corridors are naturally oriented to regional entities, such as an organizational off-shoot of Metra managing the Midwest network. <br /> <br />The Northeast Corridor can be folded into Conrail Shared Assets, Metro-North screws Amtrak in the dispatching of the New Rochelle-New Haven segment of the Corridor that it owns, but Amtrak dispatchers and Penn Station towermen really stick it to NJ Transit and SEPTA commuter trains. Conrail would be a recreation of the PRR and manges all operations more fairly.
