Whatever happens to Amtrak, the powers-at-be need to look at what happended here in the UK with the separation of infrastructure from operations. The company responsible for track and stations etc was called Railtrack. It was supposed to make money on the stock market, so as to encourage invest. Sadly, it put profit for shareholders before investment. And it STILL had to go to the government for money! If the government is going to fund rail programmes, then it may as well own them! The Train Operating Companies (TOCs) were often owned by bus companies. They, generally, only had limited tenures. Virgin had a longer tenure to run trains; that was because it set-out to run 140 mph trains up the West Coast Main Line. However, with the collapse of Railtrack, the 140 mph upgrade needed has been put on hold. America, you have been warned. JD.
