[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Norman. I do agree the Northeast Corridor is an essential service, but I think some of the long-distant trains are likewise essential. Having lived along the Empire Builder route, in Northern Montana, it would be hard for me to believe that the EB service is less essential than the Northeast Corridor, especially with "40 below" winter conditions and perilous highways. Both the transportive and romantic elements to LD trains, I believe, cannnot be depreciated. The Empire Builder run through the southern portion of Glacier Park, to me, would be almost as important to preserve as preservation of the park, itself. Rather than get rid of the long-distant trains..I would rather do the opposite. Keep the LD routes and let intrastate and interstate corridors be financed locally. If we just have corridor routes and no LD routes, to me, there is no reason for Amtrak to exist. [/QB][/QUOTE]
