I used to work for a boss who was a train fanatic and executive leadership consultant for Amtrak.
His stance was that the government should not give a single dime to Amtrak in it's current configuration.
Apparently leadership is thoroughly toxic and only cares about two things: adding more stops and getting more tax dollars. Things like service quality, reliability, cost competitiveness, or even ridership numbers have any consideration.
