Stupid crash aside, am I the ONLY westerner who wonders why the
east coast enjoys such lavish rail service while western states
have almost no rail service at all?

You might want to contact your elected representatives. Most western
reps are much more eager to shut Amtrak down than extend its skeletal
network.

Because, you know, Amtrak is socialism, while government paid roads
paid for out of the general fund because the gas tax fund is empty,
patrolled by government paid police, and government owned airports with
FAA employees directing air traffic are freedom.

R's,
John
