[QUOTE]Originally posted by 4021North: [QB] I agree one hundred percent with Mr. Harris and Thunderchief. (Also, how is the first poster's list any more of a pie in the sky than the last? The former doesn't call for more trains than the latter; if anything it seems not quite so ambitious.) So to the original poster: That doesn't look like a pipe dream. I think it's pathetic that these proposals for modest improvement to passenger service are talked about as unrealistic. To be sure, there is a certain inertia to be overcome starting new trains. But there is no reason for letting that be our focus. I like the comment that expanded train service is in harmony with the state of the union. Tell me I can't buy an old bus, and personally carry enough passengers on the highway to compete seriously with an Amtrak train. Then tell me the government couldn't do the same, or do the same thing using trains instead. Are they going to? Are we going to support them? We as a nation need to wake up and realize that economics is on Amtrak's side. ----------- " 'War is peace. Ignorance is strength. Freedom is slavery.' " -- George Orwell, [i]1984[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
