I am all for improvements in passenger rail, but looking over the piece covering this "new" concept, I am reminded of the French turboliners of the early 1970's. The trains themselves were up to the task, but congress wasn't. I think that us taxpayers buy any more "$1000.00-toilet-seats", we need to be sure that the infrastructure, and backing will be there to support these new trains. Here in Michigan, in the 1970's, the turbos were brought out with much fanfare, and thought to be the answer to Amtrak's Ills. But, alas, those 125 MPH trains spent their lives rocking down poorly maintained track at no more than 79 MPH. Considerably less, in some places. <br /> Now, if someone has change for a nickle, that was my two-cents worth. <br /> Todd C.
