[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Tanner, possibly had your statement been worded to the effect of "since all rail passenger service in the US, if not the world, is operated by one Government sponsored and tax supported agency or the other..." Mr. Resor would not have made his perfectly justified objection. Even though I know what you meant, and I'm sure so did Mr. Resor, clarity is the order of the day as Passenger Train Revenues comprise not more than 2% of all Railrway Operating Revenues (1% Amtrak; 1% regional agencies). While the amount of contract payments and any other provisions between Amtrak and a Class I is proprietary, I once learned that annual payments made by Amtrak to the UP are about $120M. UP Total Railway Operating Revenues are about $16B or $16,000M - anyone care to do the math establishing just how big a "fish" is Amtrak in UP's "tank"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
