[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Pullman, money talks. During the mid-70's, Amtrak and the roads negotiated train performance agreements that were so rich, Amtrak train performance became a "profit center". Also of note, the surge of traffic arising from Dereg and Globalization had not set forth. However, during 1997, the traffic surge had arrived entering the industry into its "second Golden Age" and at that same time Amtrak was being "giidepathed to self-sufficiency". They simply did not have funding to continue with the existing train performance payments and accordingly negotiated far less lucrative remuneration with the roads. Result, Amtrak started to "get what they were paying for". Money talks; UNOWAT walks. usual disclaimer: positions in BNI NSC UNP [/QB][/QUOTE]
