Question? What do I say? Answer. Suggest -Maintaining a strong viable national intercity rail system in the United States. Keeping Amtrak and the national system intact. You want Amtrak to stay in business and grow the business in all markets both long and short haul. Money for more passenger trains, engines,sleepers, lounges diners, coaches.
