I think you may have conditioned by HN to assume that any comment is a refutation. I brought it up because it’s an additional piece of the explanation for why amtrack can’t support itself on ticket prices alone.
- panick21_ 3y agoFair. I'm just saying that its one of many factors so I was confused why you would bring it up specifically.
- sarchertech 3y agoMostly because it’s the single biggest thing that keeps me from using Amtrak. The last few trips I’ve taken, we ended up sitting waiting on freight trains for many many hours. Each big city we came to we had to stop and wait without having any idea how long it would take for “freight traffic to clear”. I love train travel, and I’m not price sensitive at all, but the delays were completely absurd.
