<p>Having slept on it overnight, I realize that I ask Mr. Payne the wrong question. Please furnish us with the name of the Amtrak person or persons, together with their email addresses and phone numbers, who have given you access to Amtrak's books and, therefore, placed you in a position to know that the allocation of its expenses during FY13 is suspect.</p> <p>Don Phillips raised a similar objection to Amtrak's allocation of NEC expenses in a previous issue of Trains. He said that he had reliable source for his claim. I sent him a snail mail letter asking for the name of the source, together with how he gained access to Amtrak's books to verify the claim. I am still waiting to hear from him.</p> <p>Amtrak has tried to make the long distance trains as viable as possible for more than 40 years. It has failed miserably. Only those in a serious state of denial would continue to argue that they can be financially viable. </p>
