    The other difference is some routes get 2 trains a day and it probably cost $5k to go cross country

      2 trains a day would be an improvement for many routes, a lot are 1 train a day or 3 trains a week.

      Yeah i didnt mean to make antrak sound good. Its a laughable grid even for 1979 and to not have evolved since then while lowering frequency and increasing fares its just a joke.
