This Amtrak discussion should not be happening. This issue should have been resolved years ago. I recall when President Nixon formed the fake corporation which became AMTRAK, the pointless arrow as David Morgan called it. So I watched a Congressional hearing last week (early August) about the funding of two Amtrak's, one for maintaining the infrastructure and one for operating the trains. I got a good laugh from the heated debate. It seems that it "could" cost the federal government 15 billion dollars or more to pay off the unpaid loans for highspeed rail service in the major corridors. Understand of course the taxpayers are already shelling out more than 15 billion dollars for five miles of highway through Boston. <br /> <br />"Let me get this straight. fifteen billion dollars buys 5 miles of highway in one city. While the same amount creats safe, highspeed, low emission, fuel efficient rail service for many cites and there is a debate about it? Yaaaaa?
