Where I live, in the northwest corner of the United States, the train service sucks.
It's a real catch-22, no one rides the trains because the lack of trains running, and the high price, but they can't lower the price or put on more trains because there aren't enough riders.
I have taken the trains down the coast at times and really enjoyed it.
Found on the official site. Funny-looking combination of European and American technology, with the US locos at both ends almost twice as high :-) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
