Future of Amtrak in Atlanta looks dim

[Superliner Diner]

From Atlanta, GA Journal-Constitution, 8/24/05:

Though cheap plane tickets and superhighways may have curbed its popularity, the Brookwood Amtrak Station still bustles with travelers twice a day as the Crescent train stops in Atlanta.
But the fate of the last long-distance passenger rail service serving Atlanta could depend on the outcome of a funding fight that will resume when Congress returns from its summer recess next month.

I really don't trust what I see in the AJC the way I used to; it's gone downhill considerably as a media outlet.

But I read the story anyway. The story appears to be nothing more than a "paint by numbers" exercise; put it on a par with a Big Mac or Whopper value meal. Fills you up, lots of calories, but leaves you unsatisfied somehow.

Yea, I agree. Not a big fan of the ol' AJC. I was a little frustraited with the title of the Article. A friend of mine proved my point, when he thought the article was going to talk about Amtrak just not stopping in ATL anymore.
