Amtrak Reform: A Dirty run around from federal responsibility . . .

Well, getting states to all agree would be an interesting thing to see happen, especially in the northeast. Wonder where the states are going to come up with the money that the federal gov't. would match? What if an in-between state says "no way, we can't afford that!"? Do we stop the train at, say, New Jersey's border because N.J. couldn't afford "their" share, and then off load the passengers from the train onto buses to cross through N.J. to get back on a train in New York? <br /> <br />Since our gov't. is so eager to fund the Iraqi RR, when can we expect to have a web cam here to watch the trains running on the Iraqi RR?? I know a few states don't receive the kind of Amtrak service they would like to have, or, none at all. maybe those trains were cut becuase of the budget situation. But, no matter if you are living in a state with little or no Amtrak service, I'm sure some of my federal payroll taxes have supported programs in those states that my home state absolutely will not benefit from. <br /> <br />Just something to think about.
