[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] Free meals aboard a delayed train out in the boonies? That's great for the passengers aboard, and indeed Amtrak does this quite often during long delays. But what good would that have done people in a terminal waiting room whose tickets had not yet been lifted? This policy was good of the UP, but I will bet that was in force long before the 1960s. And wasn't all that red ink the reason why the railroads dumped their passenger operations onto the government? If Amtrak Operations did not know when the freight lines would be able to get the trains moving again in a storm like the one we had last week -- and it is doubtful that the freight lines themselves knew -- where is the word to get down to the terminal managers and thence to the customer reps? Amtrak needs to improve in such situations, and we can hope it will now that it is getting some money. But it just cannot prevent weather delays. [/QB][/QUOTE]
