Since there are effectively three trains running between Florida and the NE area and there does not seem to be any problem filling them - an additional train on one of those routes (a second auto train would be interesting) could prove to be very advantageous

The Silvers could use an adjustment to their schedules since both NB trains tend to both be overnight trains - the Star from Orlando through north Florida and North Carolina and the Meteor from Jacksonville through Virginia

Quite a number of cities have red lights at intersections closer than "every 6 or 7 city blocks" and yet most people deal with it without running the lights. And when someone does run a light and t-bones someone, we don't blame the driver of the car with the green light. Why should we blame the...
