This is supposedly a news story, not an editorial, but I think you'll get the anti-Amtrak slant right away. There's a picture of an Amtrak train supposedly bypassing a stop because the train was late and there were no passengers.

The information, supposedly from Amtrak as the source, is wrong too. The Chicago-Detroit and Chicago-Toronto trains do not stop at Michigan City, IN --- that is only served by the South Shore Line commuter trains (right in the middle of the street, hard to miss!) wink.gif

From the South Bend, IN Tribune, 8/4/03:
QUOTE

WASHINGTON -- Like runaway trains, two competing visions of how to reform Amtrak are on a collision course on Capitol Hill.

Full story is here.
