I can't speak for him, but I rode other trains *first* -- I started taking Amtrak only when I got absolutely fed up with flying. Amtrak is a mess compared to most of them. I honestly think nearly all of Amtrak's problems are Congressionally inflicted, however. I doubt I could do much better with a consistently hostile, anti-train governmental environment. Pretty much every other train I've ever been on has had a supportive government, with the exception of a couple of tourist lines.... and one other.
The NYC Subway has had an unsupportive government in recent years. And good God it's having serious problems. The overcrowding is insane.
