What is interesting though is that FEC has hired an Amtrak manager to run the show for them!No, I'm not saying its OK to rob Florida to put more money into the NEC. On the contrary, I think the same rules should apply to everybody.
However, FEC as yet is still on the drawing board. If and when it does start turning a profit and delivering a better service than Amtrak, then I am okay with looking into why Amtrak can't do the same, or maybe hiring FEC managers to make proposals on what to do about Amtrak. But right now we are comparing a working railroad with something that is still a project. The proof of the pudding should be in the eating, not in what the chef promises.
I agree that we should stop counting our chicken way before the eggs hatch.
