[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] I think of trains as traveling from point A to point Z with an opportunity to see everything in between, ...and with the possible risk of being stuck in H for a long time especially if UP is involved. That is why it is an adventure. How does Mr. 20thCenturyLimited feel about government funding for National Parks? The point is that many people travel for the sake of traveling and sightseeing. The tourism industry depends on it. Governments also fund promotion of tourism. How our tax dollars are spent determine which options we have available to do that. Every option involves huge amounts of government funding. Statistics show people will choose the rail option whenever the opportunity is there. Otherwise the LD's would not run at near capacity during the tourist season, while trains in the NEC run with much lower load factors than LD's. I want at least some of my tax dollars spent improving my quality of life. National Parks and Amtrak do that for me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
