I love trains and love riding Amtrak despite some of it's problems. With funding always a battle, what is the future of Amtrak, both for long distance and shorter routes. I believe it would be a national disgrace if Amtrak is allowed to vanish and no suitable alternative take it's place.
Had some questions about the Silver Meteor:
We would be going from Jax to D.C.
1) What is the dining car like. Just rode the Capitol Limited and it was great, Lake Shore(will it get better?, not so great
2) What is the coach seating like? Are there electrical outlets and plenty of legroom...
