Question -
If Obama/Biden win, do you think Amtrak will significantly get an increase in funding, to the point where they can start creating new routes? With that said, what parts of the country are in need for new routes? I'm biased because I live in the south, but I'd like to get some routes going down here, and I know Las Vegas needs to be included in a route too. If they do get a big increase, do you think they will go as far as to do things like continue the Sunset Limited again? Or do you think they'd spend it mainly for equipment upgrades? I'm interested in what everyone thinks.
What were the last few routes added to Amtrak?
Also, what were the last few routes that were discontinued by Amtrak?
If Obama gives a lot of support to Amtrak and commuter rail, do you think state-level governments will see that as something they should improve on also? An example is how developed the North Carolina, Washington (State) and California Transportation Departments are in terms of rail.
