[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] No wonder I have never been or ever will be a Member of NARP. Can't they accept that Corridors are what 21st century passenger railroads are all about? But then NARP suffers from the same "neurosis" that afflicts LD's, where in order to Federally fund the only thing that counts, i.e. the Northeast Corridor, there must be a system national in scope to drop off crumbs of economic largess in enough legislative districts to ensure Mr. Pullman's 218+51+1. NARP has the same dilemma; they to need a national constituency in order to have any standing whatever as lobbyists (whoops, public information, lest their 501(c)(3) recognition be disturbed), hence this map putting trains where I don't think they have ever been before. Indicative of such is proposing restoration of service on the Northern Pacific where there is a declining population base and I-90 is already there to provide surface transportation to the region. Long distance passenger rail has not been part of the national everyday scene in over 60 years. Even if Amtrak LD were stellar, that trend is not going to be reversed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
