1. Amtrak has the largest concentration of long distance passenger equipment in the country and the rights to travel anywhere there are rails. <br /> <br />2. Amtrak is a government controlled corporation that would be relatively simple to mobilize for large scale troop and equipment movements. <br /> <br />3. Rail movement of troops and equipment is easier, safer and more easily concealled than alternative methods of travel such as road or air travel. <br /> <br />4. Most major military installations retain a rail connection. <br /> <br />I'm sure I'll think of a few more as I go... <br /> <br />LC
