You can thank the government and the railroads for putting Amtrak in its current condition. <br /> <br />We need a viable passenger rail service in this country. Amtrak could be the start but it need proper funding not the few cents (compared to the vast amounts given to air and highway travel) it gets now. <br /> <br />Back in the 40s, the railroads could have help evacuate New Orleans. Now their is a shortage of passenger eqiupment to even run Amtrak. For that you can think stupid drivers who pull onto the tracks in front of a coming Amtrak train, and congress too for not giving Amtrak the proper funding to repair damaged cars. <br /> <br />
