If I had the Commish gig the Lastros and Strangers would have won the World Series they lost, Roger Maris,Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa would be in the Hall of Fame and A-Roid would join them when he retires!
As for Amtrak, Anthony would be President and CEO ( I would be on the Board since I don't want to work too hard! LOL)), the Dome Cars,Round-end Lounges
and Slumber Coaches would be still be on the consists, and Amtrak would be fully funded by Congress including being able to order all needed New Equipment and updates to all the rail infrastructure would be funded along with Amtrak getting #1A Priority from all Roads and their Dispatchers!
Also there would be Full Menu/Service Diners ( meals would be a la carte, Coke not Pepsi, and the liquor and food would be top shelf), all the OBS would be HOF class like our members and the others we've had the pleasure of riding with!
Lastly, since dreams dont last forever, all of the discontinued Routes that have been offed will return and every dream train that AUers have proposed in on our wish lists will be in service with Multi Sections of all LD Trains and a True HSR Rail System for all the Rail Corridors would be built and in service within 5 years. A True Jobs Program!
How to fund it? Eliiminate all the Waste, Fraud and Abuse in the Defense and Homeland Security Budgets along with a complete overhaul of our messed up tax systems, Federal, State and Local!
Say Goodnight Gracie!
