Just rode Amtrak north to Vermont from NY city- the coaches are nice, but the tracks and signal stops are so bad that the train almost derailed twice and almost hit a truck coz the stop bar electronics was stuck.
-With all the Billions of Dollars $$$ You would think they would at least install NEW TRACKS!
Where is all the tax dollars going- they must all be corrupt Amtrak crooks if the tracks are not even safe.PS we were going 30 mph all the way and were always late.
While railroads are subsidized to some extent, they are typically private entities that give Amtrak permission to use their tracks, so the track problems are with these companies, not Amtrak, as lousy as it is.
