[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] It's this: " Organizations and movements matter more if they work as a lobby to put pressure on legislative bodies, whether its about a power plant, a scewy but emotional social issue, or a cause." If you don't gather horsepower to get your individual route, you will not get it. Oh, by the way: There is a finite quantity of equipment in Amtrak's fleet. Sooner or later, expansion means capital procurement, or no matter how much operating subsidy funding there is , there won't be a consist to operate on the subsidy. Further, much of the ancillary physical plant needed to run passenger service (coach yards, commissaries, stations) is gone. That also has to be factored into the cost of new or restored service.
