AMTRAK continues to set record ridership. However, certain parties want to cut their funding.
This is unacceptable. The train offers a great alternative to flying and driving. Ridership is dramatically increasing as congestion and fuel costs grow. If we want to grow as a nation and dig ourselves out of this depression we need rail systems.
