there are two other Amtrak trains out of N.O. as well - one to Chicago and one that goes from Florida to Los Angeles. It would certainly be a good, although slow, way to get large numbers of people out of the city. Of course that's assuming the rail lines and train station are still in working condition.
Yes, but I was wondering when Amtrak stopped running before Katrina hit.
Report on local radio yesterday that AMTRAK had already taken a couple of thousand folks out....North.
