Reality is... there is a beginning and an end to everything. Amtrak has been an attempt to fend off the inevitable. I love trains, but let it go. Pay off the contractual arrangements. Let the track time be used by the railroads for more economically-valuable purposes. And for instance, let the northeast states work with what may be possible there with NEC passenger lines. Let California continue to develop its situation. Let Metra take over the routes to Milwaukee and the Illinois college towns. Bring attention to new ways of shaping tomorrow's world. Maybe that means ways of not needing transportation. Maybe that means a new type of transportation technology. I think the engine of mankind's advancement hasn't been through politics; rather it's been by creating things, be it music, poetry, surgery, or a Coca Cola bottle. <br /> <br />As a closing comment, I would like to see the creation of one heritage streamliner passenger train operated with class by the National Park Service (through the Feather River Canyon?), and with proper remuneration to the railroad that owns the route. To me that would properly befit the era of the passenger train.
