[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] At Post #28, Mr. Hoop makes some meritorious points regarding the state of Amtrak affairs. Amtrak could be on the threshold as a Federal agency (let's stow the 'for profit' charade) that is about to deliver a program that represents a meaningful way to transport John Q between Point A and B. While, I know that I "fly in the face of" the majority around here that believe LD trains are an essential piece of the landscape, the growth and relevance of passenger rail will be in the Corridor markets. Amtrak, being a Federal agency, is of course going to suffer the inefficiencies of any bureaucracy anywhere in the world. In addition to a VP-Operations complete with a cadre of court jesters, it will also "need' a VP-Operations Support, also complete with its cadre of court jesters. I can only hope that as Amtrak enters what could well be its "golden age" of providing meaningful transportation (sorry volks, but icicles will freeze in Hades before I can ever accept NARP's "connect the dots" charade, or expansion of the LD system beyond what is needed for political expediency, as meaningful), they can be viewed as an agency that runs its program, i.e. provide intercity passenger rail transportation, in an economic and efficient manner.
