Good for you guys. Now you need the money. Bad for you guys.

We could sure use high speed rails to San Diego and Hell-A. It would be great to have connections to ABQ, Denver, Salt Lake, Portland and Seattle. It won't happen in my lifetime.

I love riding trains and ALWAYS do whenever I am in Europe. The TGV in France is grand. We'd do well to have a better rail system here in the USA. Rail traffic is down now and likely won't return to what it once was. Passenger traffic makes sense now more than ever.
