[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] If Anderson had killed the Chief, I think it would have had a devastating effect on the relationship between Amtrak and many of the state DOTs. Compared to some other states, CO, KS and NM don't contribute much to passenger rail service, but they were willing to back the Chief with political clout, a little bit of money and some local level resourcefulness in applying for grants. If Anderson had taken all that effort and run it over with a Greyhound bus, every other local community and jurisdiction would forever be reluctant to contribute any time or money to improving their Amtrak service. "Remember what happened to the Southwest Chief?" would be the chant every time Amtrak asks for help in the future. [/QB][/QUOTE]
