- Another week, this time the first week of the new fiscal year, and another week when the Sunset Limited is not running east of New Orleans. Has anybody seen the Sunset Limited?
- For all of the things Amtrak is doing, it’s what Amtrak is not doing that is making a negative difference.For too long, Amtrak has considered marketing and related activities beyond the Northeast Corridor (or, here in bow and arrow country, which means anywhere west of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and south of Washington, D.C.) as unimportant. At best, Amtrak has paid lip service to marketing the national system, but the bulk of the marketing and advertising dollars have gone into trying to bolster the sagging NEC.
