That blame lies squarely with Congress & the White House, since someone has to fund it. I didn't see GM or Ford stepping up and paying for the highways, nor SOUTHWEST AIRLINES building the airports they fly into. Air and highways,comparatively, get a free ride from Congress while Amtrak has to limp along all the while being attacked every year as useless. We need an 80% federal match, where the feds will pay 80% of rail infrastructure improvement, much like they have with highway and airport construction. More unfairness which has lessened the choices of the traveling public.
