[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="Sam1"]Ah, but is that railroad compensated fully - fully allocated costs - for hoisting Amtrak's trains and giving them priority?[/quote] No, but it's irrelevant to the deal they have with Amtrak to host the train.[/quote] Every contract, no matter how well it is written, contains ambiguities.  If I am being compensated fully for the service that I am providing you, I am going to bias my interpretation of the ambiguities for our mutual benefit. If I am not being compensated fairly, I am going to call them in my favor.  And many times, given the psychology, I won't even know that I am doing it. Come to think about it, I like the idea of slowing the long distance trains to 59 mph.  Outside of a few die hard riders, few people take them seriously.  If it would improve the time keeping, as per the Railway Age article, most of the people that I have seen on the long distance trains, including the guy I see in the mirror, would not care.
