>>1837731How do you propose a better solution? Amtrak is only as good as the Federal government permits, while it would be far better for Amtrak to have in-house tunnel engineers, machines, technicians and crews Washington refuses to give the money. This forces them to rely on contractors, who will obviously charge a premium for their services.
It's unreasonable to make a statement like yours and not provide a solution. Amtrak is the best thing we got, works well for what it is, and is accepted by most Americans. I'd love to hear *your* solution to this problem, otherwise it's shitty concern trolling and meaningless jabber.
