[quote user="John WR"] Sam,    I'm kind of surprised that you, of all people, would complain about inadequate stations.  It certainly is true that some stations are minimal, to say the least.  But Amtrak continues to spend a lot of money to restore stations that are really much bigger than it needs.  Much of this money is spent for historic preservation.  I myself wonder if that is a valid use of transportation funds.    John [/quote] Amtrak does not own any stations in Texas. The stations are owned by the cities. Amtrak pays no rent or only nominal rents for the station facilities that it uses.  Moreover, most of the station restoration projects that Amtrak touts, at least the ones in Texas, have been paid for by the communities that own them.   My post was a bit tongue in cheek.
