Amtrak does not make money, has never made money and will never make money. But why should anybody be surprised? If the Bush Administration would take the time to go back to the history books, they would find that that is why for-profit freight railroads got out of the rail passenger business more than three decades ago. The private sector isn’t expected to -- nor should it -- provide all services. As the old saying goes, if you don’t learn from history you are condemned to repeat it.
Now the administration wants to bankrupt and eliminate Amtrak with the belief that states and the free-market system are sitting there waiting to grab hold of passenger operations. First, the freight railroads do not like Amtrak. Anyone who believes the freight railroads want several different passenger companies operating over their freight lines needs psychiatric help.
