The Future of Rail Passenger Service...

With the election coming up, the future of rail passenger service is in question again. Almost since its inception, Amtrak has focused on the short distance corridors. However, is it the right direction for rail passenger?

Here in Utah, we do not have any lines that would qualify as short distance corridors although UDOT tries to claim Logan to Ceder City is one but I would question that.

This is video of Andrew Selden, President of the Minneapolis Association of Rail Passengers, runner up for President of Amtrak back when George Warrington was named, and supporter of long distance passenger trains.
