sleeper cars are making a comeback on Amtrak's Boston to Chicago run...
To think for a quarter of what we've flushed away on loser outfits like AIG we could have state of the art rail service in the Northeast. Hell, the Vice President of the USA ought to be able to board the Acela at Penn Station in NYC and debark four hours later in Manchester New Hampshire ready to harangue the nearest unsuspecting crowd.
Hell for a quarter of AIG's bailout boodle the national freight grid could be fully electrified thus creating all sorts of cost savings at the consumer level. UPS and Fedex could ship more cheaply and efficiently, flewer dedicated planes in the air, level truck fuel being burned...it is a no brainer really.
