Let's see now...where can we cut?The train and enginemen now all run further than they used to. In some instances the road crews turn, service, and clean their own equipment. So we can't look there. We could close all the depots but then no one could get on or off the trains. We could try that old paper plates in the diner routine, but I think that may actually cost more than china. Maybe we could get rid of the food altogether and just have photos of food like in some B-rated coffee houses. Hows bout running the trains only downhill. We could get rid of the engines. <br />Remember, last year, American Airlines said they could save 40K a year by removing one olive from each salad in the meal service. But Amtrak doesn't serve that many salads. <br />We could get rid of the remaining guy in the cafe cars and make it a free-for-all. <br />I know...Why don't we just get rid of Minetta? <br /> <br />Mitch
