<p>Well, I don´t know whether there are any answers, as long as US politics and politicians seem to have a somewhat distorted view on passenger rail services. Most of them keep on crying about how much tax money Amtrak is eating up, yet no one seems to have questioned the billions of $$$ of hidden subsidies that went into air transport (and trucking, if you like).</p> <p>Privatization is not the answer. The British had to learn that the hard way, and Germany still has to learn it. It finally boils down to what a society wishes to have and is prepared to pay for. In most European countries, this means a well functioning train network</p>
