It does seems that there is a pro-rail groundswell building, but we will have to get rid of Bush and his cronies before anything much can happen. His proposed budget cuts Amtrak’s current level of funding by 40%, which is crazy, of course. Congress won’t let that happen, but it’s indicative of what Amtrak has had to deal with for the past 7+ years.

Anyway, you’re right on!
