What about those of us in the West like California, you don’t see a problem with spending our tax dollars so the East coast can get new locomotives?

Not at all.
Amtrak serves more passengers in California than any other state in the Union.
You have nothing to whine about.

Where did you get those stats. We have what, three major routes unless you count the commuter trains in LA.

I’m not whining, I’m tired of you expecting everyone here to embrace (and pay) for rail service. Do you even post in other threads?

I happen to love rail, in Europe. They actually go to even little towns and there’s main stations everywhere.

What has rail done for California?

You have a lot of nerve to expect everyone to pay for your pet project and then get indignant when people mention your rail boondoggle.

This is California, we drive.
