[quote user="henry6"] Amtrak's history is all published fact.  Only the political interpretations and rants hide truths. [/quote] Does it really matter? The key question is what is the role of passengers trains in the nation's transport mix?  Today!  And tomorrow! Not 50 or 60 or whatever number of years ago.  What transport problem are we as a nation trying to solve and where is passenger rail the best solution?  Who pays for it, what kind, how much, etc. are legitimate questions, but at the end of the day the history of how we got to this point does not really matter.   Oh, I majored in history and economics as an under graduate student at Penn State.  And I have retained an interest in history ever since.  There may be some lessons in history, although I am doubtful that we learn from them. Which leaves history as an interesting topic for discussion as long as we recognize that most of it is irrelevant to solving today's problems.
