"The budget would immediately remove funding for the long-distance network — itself an arbitrarily devised amalgam of 15 routes comprised of trains traveling over 750 miles defined under 2008’s Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act."
Also:
"Travel options provided by long-distance trains on state corridors such as Chicago-Carbondale, Ill., Chicago-St. Louis, New York-Buffalo, N.Y., and Santa Barbara-Los Angeles, Cal., would disappear."
I'm not sure I get it. Does it mean that LD trains, such as the Starlight, will not operate on Amtrak corridor train track such as the Starlight over the same track as the P. Surfliners? Would the Starlight then just be San Luis Obispo to San Jose or Sacramento to Eugene? Or, would it simply mean no train service between San Luis Obispo and San Jose or SAC to EUG, and, thus, no more Starlight?
