Promoting passenger trains as a transportation alternative in Florida since 1983. We are citizens who advocate for Amtrak, commuter rail, intercity rail and transit for Florida's future.
Which is more incredible?
Representative John Mica's outrageous statements about Amtrak being a "Soviet-style railroad"?
Or the fact that a New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper reporter would take them all at face value-- especially the "subsidy per person" argument often made against the Sunset Limited?
Letters to the editor of the Times-Picayune are encouraged.
