Ever since its "conception", AMTRAK has provided some sort of passenger rail service, with a focus on running trains and hardly any focus on the word "service". It will continue to do so, unless a few substantial things are changed. Change of mandate: AMTRAK´s congressional mandate should reflect  a service orientation, based on current, but also future needs of the US society. Change of funding: Not based on what´s left in the budget, but what is needed. Change of management: Railroads are strange animals. You need to have an excellent understanding of railroading to be able to run that business properly. In Germany, German Railways was run for some years by a guy who thought he could run it just like an airline. It´s costing billions of Euros to correct the mistakes he made. Change in attitude: Trains are not "old-fashioned" choo-choos, but a viable option of modern transport. Need people to introduce change - I may volunteer [(-D]
