Out here in the Midwest, we have people creating "committees" all the time to encourage Amtrak to add/change routes. As my dad says, "There's a lot of people who want to take a train ride, but no one who wants to ride a train". Amtrak does go through my town on it's way to/from Chicago/California. Other than the fact our departure was delayed SIX hours because the train was that late, my wife and I had a nice trip to Chicago for our one year anniversary. I remember an article in the paper (David Barry ?) in the 80's that thought that Amtrak would be perfect for moving missiles around because you could never guess what their schedule was going to be. -- Neil Johnson, N0SFH http://www.iowatelecom.net/~njohnsn http://www.njohnsn.com/ PGP key available on request.
