Amtrak isn't in a position to meaningfully change the quality of their service (e.g. speed/cost), so the only thing that's left is to juggle "Marketing Strategies" around in an attempt to grab a little bit more cash from the scenic tourism crowd. It's a shame, though. I really love train travel, the sound, the smells, the locomotive technology - everything about it. Too bad Amtrak is stuck somewhere in the 1970's in terms of speed/cost.
