Not only does Congress need to realize that every other mode of passenger travel receives subsidies, (Greyhound with our taxes that pay for the roads which they travel, airlines with the FAA, and now they're looking for bailouts, et al.), but the railroads need to be held accountable for schedule keeping. I recently rode the Texas Eagle from San Antonio to Dallas and noticed something peculiar. While on the Union Pacific, the Eagle was treated worse than a local by the dispatcher. However, while on the BNSF, the Eagle flew. Even with UP's delays, the BNSF got us into Ft. Worth 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Here's where the problem lies-we regain UP rails in Ft. Worth. I finally arrived in Dallas 2 hours late. While waiting for my departure from Ft. Worth, I strongly considered buying a ticket for the Trinity Railway Express, the commuter train which serves DFW. I certainly would have arrived much sooner.
