I was just wondering how sparse passenger train services had become, in the two or three years preceding the opening of Amtrak? Because I just read about a train trip in 1969, and it seems like the author still had quite a few options. I thought it would be otherwise. Did Amtrak restore or eliminate more trains when it first opened? Did a lot of great trains and stations die that day, or were most already gone? Was there a lot of bickering over what to save and what to let go? I'm sure there are books about it, but maybe someone has the short answer. Where were you on Amtrak Day?
