Amtrak has been a bit up against a capacity limit on many routes until we get the next new set of equipment in the midwest. That may be confounding some of the ridership growth numbers in a few routes too. So I think it is also premature to come to the conclusion that anything has been squandered either. What is good for the goose (one side of the argument) should be equally good for the gander (the other side). Frankly I don't know for sure and I take fervently stated theories as just that theories with inadequate factual foundation. We will know for sure only in several years, not right at this moment.
