Amtrak CEO Resigns
In a surprise move, Amtrak President David L. Gunn has suddenly resigned. It is speculated that a position has been newly created for him at the troubled VIA Rail Canada. April 1 is the first day of the Canadian government fiscal year, buttressing this speculation. Gunn is soon expected to make an announcement in Montreal but since he does not drive an automobile and cannot use Amtrak because of the unworkable Amtrak train connections between Washington DC and Montreal, it is reported that he is on a Peter Pan bus to New York City, there to make ongoing connections into Canada.
