    - if we get another Sandy the wait will be over, there won't be a tunnel -- nm - decline Mar 5, 06:10
- The NE Corridor is also the only profitable Amtrak route, and subsidizes the midwest, south, etc. Clearly the admin doesn't understand this. -- nm - MDH Mar 5, 06:03 1
  - They’d just as soon kill Amtrak off entirely, so I don’t think that enters into their calculations at all. -- nm - znufrii Mar 5, 06:19
