Todd: << A trip on the "City of New Orleans" in 1995 cemented this opinion in my mind. >> <br /> <br />I didn't begin traveling on Amtrak until June 1997. I'd been on the City, among other Amtrak trains, a few times since. I'd found the onboard service on all to be good or gooder. I always allowed for freight and other delays. My only legitimate complaint was in regard to the equipment, which is getting worse and, I suspect, barely safe. <br /> <br />And now, bad timekeeping is the rule instead of the exception. So, I won't ride Amtrak again until that gets back to within reason. It reminds me of an old joke. <br /> <br />A train squeals into the station and stops. A passenger rushes up to the conductor stepping off and exclaims, "Wow! I've ridden this train for many years and this is the first time it's ever been on time." <br /> <br />The conductor mumbles, "This is yesterday's train." <br /> <br />Bill in Texas
