"1 they are not charging enough to cover operating expenses" - oldtanker
Back in the '80's I moved from Elkhart, IN. to Chicago after I got out of the army, lived there about a decade while working and playing there as a young man. I used to catch AmTrak back and forth on weekends to see the family. It wasn't expensive, and the trains were clean. I have long since moved back to Indiana.

Without subsidies, there aint no way that thing would be in business.
