So if CSX can run a freight train Why Can't Amtrak run a passenger train ??
The DC / Chicago route takes 43 hours I can drive it in 19 + 10 hour rest/sleep stop Near Nashville 29 hours total. Trains are a very fuel efficient way of moving large numbers of people. With the way the Airlines are nickel and Dimeing us not to mention the cramped seating it's a golden opportunity for the railroads to make a comeback and provide the FAST Comfortable travelling European countries are accustomed to.
