[quote user="A McIntosh"]<p>With private operators bidding to run this service, I wonder if any of them have pockets deep enough to buy their own rolling stock? If your in for a penny, might as well be in for a pound. On another facet of this topic, and at the risk of flogging a dead horse, I posted a comment last fall concerning my experience riding a bus. I am sorry if I caused any offense to anyone with it. I only wanted to say that while the purpose of passenger travel is to get from point A to point B, not all modes are the same. Each has its strengths and weakness.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>[/quote] They probably would not buy any rolling stock. They would lease it! In fact, Amtrak leases most of its equipment. A private operator would only enter the business if he had a strong reason to believe that he could recover the costs and enhance shareholder wealth.
