Just about the only republican that I know of that is truly pro rail and doesn't give lip service to it, and just about single handily saved Amtrak and also spoke out against many republicans who where not pro rail is Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Beyond that most republicans just give lip service...

I think it be great if we can compile a list of Rental Car Places either at the Train Station or within half a mile walking distance from the train stations in the US. While Amtrak sometimes provides some info. I found it allot of times to be out of date and not always correct.

For some reason that wording lead my mind in a totally different direction. When I first read it. :blink:

I wish the Thurways bus provided more routes to get people to the Train station nearest to them. So it would open up more areas to take the train back and forth from where they live. I know Thruways can't be a greyhound like bus service, and they must provide strategic routing. But I believe...
