there just isnt the demand for rail if you have a car. precisely why we as a nation and amtrak as a transportation industry need to change the mentality regarding transit. individuals need to look at spending more time and less fuel and amtrak needs to upgrade its product. but then i already said that. -- max give a man a match and he is warm for a short while. light him on fire and he is warm for the rest of his life. there just isnt the demand for rail if you have a car. were in upstate ny and have relatives in chantilly va. weve looked at taking a train down. on top of being considerably more expensive than taking our care not to mention the convenience of having our car when we get there the trip was over 24 hours. shoot we drive it in 6. lets see. slower more expensive less convenient. three great reason to hop on. now if you dont have a vehicle thats another story. on fri 02 sep 2005 204237 gmt max dodge max340@verizon.net wrote why is this not possible in the us seems to me it should be. damn right it should be. why not because president after president democrat and republican alike with congressional blessing urging even has screwed amtrak until it had just enough to survive on. this country at one time had a massive passenger rail system. with the advent of air travel and then the interstates rail travel became obsolete. this rail system was imo the single biggest factor in keeping this country productive and able to out produce its enemies in wwii. said a german pow held in the mid west as he looked out and saw a up big boy 250 tons or so pulling what seemed a never ending train if this country can make that there must be more and if so germany will lose. the northeast corridor boston to d.c. basically paralleling i-95 is the backbone of amtrak in the east. this corridor is literally one disaster away from being inoperable due to cuts in funding. not helping the cause were the acela trainsets which in june turned up with 30% failure rate in the brake rotors. if we funded passenger rail between cities enough to keep the service dependable for two years maximum ran it at rates and times which made it worth the lack of independance given by a personal vehicle we could actually have a rail system worth talking about. whats more since it runs on freight trackage the upgrades for passenger trains would improve the service of hotshot freights such as mail ups fresh produce etc. union pacific has entered a multi year plan to upgrade and build new terminals. this began as a result of having to give up a contract with united parcel service due to more traffic than the major lines in its system could handle. the track was fine but the amount of room for all the freight cars was just not there. if amtrak were in a position to do so they could contract with up to assist in the improvements if given trackage rights. however in the case of amtrak it has always been a struggle between free enterprise and governmental subsidy of passenger rail. its time government took its we know better attitude and used it to improve not only our rail system but our energy policy as well. .
