<p>As soon as someone can tell me why Midland, Lubbock, and McAllen, Texas, amongst others, don't have passenger rail, I'll buy the equity argument. </p> <p>There is no evidence that eliminating the long distance trains or short corridor trains that carry few passengers would kill passenger rail where it makes sense, i.e. NEC, Southern California, Illinois, etc. Killing these money losing trains could, as an alternative scenario, free up monies to be invested where passenger rail has a reasonable probability of covering its operating expenses and maybe in time its capital expenses.</p>
