<p>lt is my understanding that the bill already allows two routes to be contracted out as an experiment to see if it would really work. The Sununu amendment would have allowed any number of routes to be so done. I don't think it would hurt to try it and see what happens, but I see no point to the amendment except as a delaying tactic. </p><p>Of greater concern was an earlier amendment by Sununu which would have shut down any route with a loss per passeger (fully allocated, one must assume) of $200 or more. That would shut down every long distance train in the system. It was defeated 66-28. </p><p>SFb... Do you have any insights from the debate, such as who was arguing for and against, and how they presented their arguments? </p>
