You kidding? I not make that much in my life.

look at it this way, at $687 thousand,
that is about $136 million less than a F-22.
and it seats 59 more people

Republican Rep. Michael Castle acknowledged that he was no fan of the $787 billion stimulus package, but said he wants to ensure that Amtrak remains a viable mode of transportation.

Don’t give them any ideas. Next they’ll start using F-22s for Am-Trak cars.

Amtrack is the biggest waste of money ever. There is a ride between Portland Maine and Boston that travels empty always! The buses are full because the buses go where one wants to go, like the airport, and are more comfortable rides AND COST LESS!

But the elites wanted trains and trains we got, even though they are filled with retired Amtrack workers who are going down to spend the day in Boston.

OFF TOPIC: What line or company operated those box cars that had the red “Thunderbird” on them? I don’t see those around anymore and I don’t recall that a name appeared (in any type you could read) on the cars.

A coffee shop here in Austin, TX is called “The Thunderbird” and its mark is a red “Thunderbird” that is a bit of a riff on the box cars. (The Missouri-Pacific line where I’ve seen the box cars is located about 2-3 mile away from the shop.)
