[QUOTE]Originally posted by jgart56: [QB] Who in the world will want the Superliners? VIA didn't and once the LD trains are gone...the talent at Beech Grove that keeps all the passenger cars on the move will be gone! Again to Normie: what private company will want to take over running these trains without parts, and especially the expertise to keep it going? To save the discussion, answer: "No Company in their right mind!" Was Gunn truly fighting against the concept of spliting off the NEC, or was he possibly reminding everyone of the expense and time involved to do it. Does Normie think that all the States along the NEC are just going to gather in a love fest and put together a plan to run trains in 2 days, find the proper funding and then do it? I believe that the next President of Amtrak HAS TO sit down with each of the CEO's of the railroads on which Amtrak runs it's trains and figure out a way to keep them reasonably on time. I STILL WONDER where new equipment is going to come from? In the interview he had in Trains Magazine in November, Gunn said Amtrak was having problems even finding replacement wheelsets for their passenger cars. The intimation: where was new eqiupment going to come from? From Bombardier, not bloody likely...after the Acela debacle they'll probably stay far away from Amtrak. [/QB][/QUOTE]
