Looked into Amtrak to go down to D.C. for a trade show. About 7 hour drive v. 1 hour drive to the station + 7 hour train trip.
By the time I got done with the pencil, it was cheaper to call Enterprise and rent a car (better mileage, and mileage not going on my truck).

Get the trains running on an hourly schedule, have power in them so we can run our modern conveniences, and be cost competetive with automobiles...they might actually not need federal subsidies.
