RAIL: THE WAY TO GO

Apparently the American people have picked up on what European countries, Japan and China have known for a long time.  Travel by RAIL is the way to go. 





Rail travel, in the USA, has increased 55%since 1997.  That's a much bigger increase than travel by air or auto.  Travel by rail is the fastest growing mode of travel in the USA.

Unfortunately, a lot of the routes aren't making money.  Probably because there are those in government doing everything they can to make sure rail doesn't get an upper hand.

The oil companies have very deep pockets when it comes to campaign contributions and, unfortunately, what's best for a successful campaign comes before what's best for the country every time.

Here's an interesting article from the ARIZONA DAILY STAR on what's happening with AMTRAK these days.
