[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by daveklepper All of the issues Mark has edited have been excellent and there isn't any reading material that I enjoy and am stimulated by more. This was as tops as any have been. But the troop-train story makes me ask the question: Why has not the National Defense angle been raised by fans, the industry, and the magazines, concerning the unfair treatment given the railroads, and the far greater subsidies given to all other passenger transportation than are given to Amtrak and public transit? Far greater subsidies when you look at the whole picture. Could the railroad industry begin to do anything like the job it did in WWII and WWI? Suppose North Amnerica had to fight a war and be energy independent at the same time? It this a complete impossibility? [/quote] Chances are they won't get called upon like they would in WWI and WWII, at least not in the passenger sense, they would all go by plane nowadays, or bus, both ways are faster nowadays than they were back during WWI and WWII.
