[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Modelcar</i> <br /><br />....Chicken or the egg...Which came first. Seems to be a parellel to Amtrak. Bad service and then on the other side, not enough money to run a suitable service...How can it made better...If the service is stopped, that will be the end of a national passenger service in this country. If we want that service we [our leaders], better fix it while it's still running so one has something to fix. I would not mind paying if we had something we could be proud to use. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />THE FREIGHT RAILROADS WILL NOT ALLOW ANOTHER PROVIDER TO OPERATE PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICE. IF AMTRAK DIES ALL AMERICAN PASSENGER SERVICE GOES WITH IT. IF YOU WANT PASSENGER SERVICE IT IS NOW OR NEVER. THE ONLY WAY AMTRAK WILL IMPROVE IS TO IMPROVE ITS FUNDING. FUNDING WILL NOT IMPROVE UNLESS WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DEMAND AMTRAK BE PROPERLY FUNDED. IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT AMTRAK NOW YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO SUPPORT LATER.
