Hello everyone, just thought you all would want to see this...please be
aware that I asked Dave if it was ok to forward on this list, no
problemo, but that this list is CB&Q oriented, so please keep discussion
of this topic to a min...however, please also pass on to any other
railroad groups that you feel would find this something to take action over.
---------------------------
Save our passenger railroad!
The proposed Federal budget for 2006 will eliminate all government
subsidies for cross country rail services (except in certain metro
areas). While Amtrack is certainly not perfect, removing ALL of
it's budget is NOT the way to go!
See these pages for more detail:

http://www.narprail.org/r05.htm
http://www.railtravelcenter.com/Amtrakbudget.htm
With growing fuel prices, the growing complaints about air polution,
the traffic getting worse and worse...we need a BETTER and CHEAPER
rail system, not worse! It is hypocritical for the government to
tout it's concern in these areas, yet to remove other options from
our travel infrastructure!
Check it out, see if you agree, and please write to your congressman
if you do...
Cheers!
