That means these folk only have to find 15 votes to get a majority for Amtrak. The Senate is harder, the vote count is only half of the need at 26. That's enough to do some issues horse trading. So, where I once thought 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 mattered to Amtrak, I say now, as a political reality: [b][i]So what, who cares? Post the 180 day discontinuance notices on the STB website.[/b][/i] That Superliner stock can be used for 2d runs on several of the Chicago-East Coast routes, which fall in the 750 mile limit. The One a Day runs are no longer part of the political calculus, imnsho. [/QB][/QUOTE]
