Okay here....The Class 1 ran passenger trains for 4 reasons.... 1.Mail and Express paid for the Passenger Trains, When the post office dropped mail from the trains perhaps at the bequest of GM passenger trains droped as well. The 3 Rivers(Broadway) droped its mail and now there is no justifacation for the the train according to Amtrak. 2.Passenger trains allowed the Public To see there railroads first hand and keep them in the mind of the investing public and those that shipped LTL which the railroads got out of the buisness of or in reality contracted LTL to the likes of UPS and Roadway were Labor was cheaper. 3.Commuter Trains allowed Real estate in Suberbs that were owed by the railroads to be developed and have east access too...Witness Chicago 4. Passenger Trains allowed there own workforce to get to and from remote yard and station locations before freeways which the interstate highway sysytem realy was not complete till 1971..(1951-1969) Anymore
