OK to recap I work on-board Amtrak trains. One of my family members is also kinda high up there in management.
Basically, he told me how Amtrak got their money for this year.
Amtrak signed a 'contract' of sorts -- that states if Amtrak's food service and sleeping car service can't make enough money, then by July 2006 Amtrak must find a way to 'get rid of them'.
:*( This makes me mad and pissy. I am no where near the point where I become 'vested' in the company, and all that money I put into Railroad Retirement will be lost. Blarrrg!
