[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] Speaking as a taxpayer, with my Congressman sitting the House Transportation Committee... We have limited dollars. AMTRAK has limited dollars. If Mr Buffett's Railroad is willing to slot Amtrak onto the Transcon, and there's no fee for it, then I would assume Amtrak would take the economic solution and go that way. If not, I will encourage my Congresscritter to put a restriction on the FY 12 DOT operating grant to Amtrak that no Federal funds be used for maintenance to passenger speeds of the historic ATSF route. If we're running this train solely for the scenery, folks, it's time to hang the Adios drumhead. LD trains have one purpose: Get votes for the NEC and the other services. Unless and until US energy policy makes LD rail a viable alternative vice auto or air, 1 a day is not a primary transportation service. [/QB][/QUOTE]
