<p>[quote user="BaltACD"]</p> <p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">The thing to remember about Amtrak is that at the time it was created it was created to FAIL. It was created as a shoddy transportation medium to quiet opponents of the freight railroad desire to rid themselves of the money losing proposition. The fact that Amtrak still exists despite all the political and financial sabotage that has occurred during it life span is a testimony to it's leadership and work force and their will to survive. </span></strong>[/quote]</p> <p>My cat is sitting on my lap as I type this note. She is staring at the cat in your posting signature icon going around and around. She is impressed, but she says that she is definitely not coming to your house. No wild rides for her!</p> <p>Amtrak exists in large part because a majority of the people's representatives in the Congress of the United States have voted more than $1.5 billion annually (latest go around) to keep it running. True, Amtrak's leadership and workforce are important contributors to its survival, but it would fall over in a minute if the federal government did not support it. </p>
