StumbleLetter: Too bad Amtrak is a thing of past
Thursday, Sept. 20, 2001 | 9:27 a.m.
How ironic it is that the desperate travelers waiting in long lines for a bus ticket or rental car did not have the option of taking the train. Our entire rail connection with the East was discontinued several years ago.
A rail passenger car seats twice as many as a bus in smooth-riding comfort, but passenger trains are old-fashioned, aren't they?
Maybe our country's transportation system ought to be added to the many things that need to be rethought in the near future.
