[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Before we get all excited about Mail and Express, remember this: mail and express was, from the passengers' perspective, the greatest delayer of trains there ever was. Most secondary trains had long stops almost everywhere to work the head end traffic, and most premier trains did not carry any head end traffic and those that did tried to limit it to traffic that simply ran through end to end. Those that remember the Warrington era of "expedited freight will save us" should also remember the lengthening of schedules and random stops to switch in and out cars that added delay, not to mention the feeling, mostly unjustified, of the host railroads that Amtrak had decided to be in competition with their hosts.
