Working for the railroad i've never understood why we subsidize the airlines and bail them out time and time again as well as funneling all this money into DOT but when it comes to getting money for rail it's like pulling teeth.
I don't know if it's special interests or what but anyone who thinks that reliable and fast means of mass transit won't play a key part in our future is crazy. Granted I know Amtrak in most area's doesn't exactly fit this bill and due to funding all it's really been doing is limping along for the past 20 years but it's a start.
