[quote user="cx500"] But as several of us have tried to point out, the risk factor was virtually nonexistent. [/quote] And others have pointed out that going the safe way was the best Amtrak could do. I'm one of those. How do you know there was no risk? From the discussion here? Cancelling trains is not the end of the world. They are convenient, but not essential. The life goes on even without a train for a few days. A lot of communities in the the area between the routes of EB and CZ don't have the luxury of passenger trains. Perhaps Amtrak considered the existence of ambulance-chasers and possible high damages into the risk assessment in case something might happen. Yes, we take risks when walking and driving but we are responsible ourselfes for doing so. In passenger train travel Amtrak takes over the responsibility for us. There are different opions as we see. But they are moot as Amtrak decided to cancel the EB trains. It is monday morning quarterbacking. Regards, Volker
