<p>[quote user="John WR"]</p> <p>Sam, </p> <p>I stand corrected. As you point out, Amtrak has a wealth of data. I looked at a table that compared information from 2012 and 2013 rather than the table that show costs per passenger mile. The title was off the top of my screen and I should have scrolled up to double check it. </p> <p>However, I still believe a logical case may be made to cut all long distance routes but to cut just one makes much less sense because Amtrak is a system.</p> <p>John [/quote]</p> <p>I am not advocating cutting just one long distance passenger train. They all should be dropped as per my previous post. The reference to the Texas Eagle was just an example of how the equipment could be redeployed in Texas, as well as perhaps elsewhere, to provide a better service to a burgeoning market.</p>
