As long as we continue to operate passenger service at automobile speeds on freight rails, we will never have a rail service the American public will embrace. We need to develop 21st Century trains that can move at 200+ mph without grade crossings or shared rails. Until we get independently owned and operated, professional high speed rail systems that can compete with the airlines on routes under 500 miles, our national rail system will always be just a Burger King on rails. Compare Amtrak's schedule with Greyhound Bus Lines: <br />New York to Los Angeles in 64 hours for $1018, no first class available (bus: 71 hrs/$129). <br />Chicago to St. Louis in 5 1/2 hours, $42 one way, no first class (bus: 5+05/$30). <br />St. Louis to Pittsburgh in 18 hours $86 one way (bus: 15 hrs/$87). No first class. <br />
