[quote]QUOTE: that still makes no sence.... just like your half baked idea about 'giveing" rail passenger service back....dude..what ever your one...send some here..ill even take a Redblock vacation for some of it... for what it has done to you...it has got to be some of the best stuff that money can buy!!!! . csx engineer [/quote] The first lie was that the freight railroads would run a third party's trains over their own railroad with the same dispatch as if they owned them. The next lie; this shifting of responsibility from private enterprise to government was presented as a solution, when really it was a castoff from private enterprise and its responsibilities to the government, with the idea that Amtrak would daylight itself and be gone post-haste in about 5 to 8 years. The next lie, which confirms the second lie, is; If the creators of Amtrak really wanted to create a federally sponsored passenger rail network with legs, they'd given it a revenue source. Independent of the yearly federal budget constraints and politics! They didn't! It was the typical rich-man pass off to government of their responsibilities, with the hope that it would die. You know CSXengineer, every time I speak to my local's boss, he listens. If you have such a problem with your local chairman, maybe you should run for his place and make railroaders safe from non-attention! Oh, By The Way, I have the inside story to many lies about the creation of AMTRAK. Jim - Lawton, NV MP236
