[quote user="Dakguy201"] As Bluestreak noted above, there are not sufficient spare Superliners to put together even one more trainset.  Although Superliner compatible cars are included in the new equipment procurement plan recently released by Amtrak, by own bet is that no such order will ever be placed given the Amtrak's apathy toward long distance trains.  .[/quote] Amtrak's apathy toward its long distance trains is well founded.  Any objective assessment of the numbers associated with them shows that they lose heaps of money whilst serving a very small segment of the travelling public.  Had Amtrak been able to shed the long distance trains when it was formed, it could have devoted its energies to enhancing or developing the relatively short, high density corridors where passenger rail makes sense.
