Thoma" <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list RAILROAD <[log in to unmask]> Subject: AMTRAK in Alabama There are some recent developments in the AMTRAK saga in Alabama that may interest readers. First, Fob James (our new Republican Gov.) and his Transportation advisor have decided to withdraw the 403b monies that were budgeted for the Birmingham to Mobile route. This is important because those state leaders who were trying to save the route had counted on this money plus new monies from Mississippi and Louisiana to keep the route open and extend it to New Orleans via the Mississippi coast (and right by the new Casinos located along the proposed route). The main idea of this plan was to keep both The Cresent and the Mobile extention open keeping in mind AMTRAK's decision to proceed with reduced service. What this does is pit the proposed route cities against Tuscaloosa, Meridian, etc. for the 3 days-a-week route. Interestingly and following Fob's announcement, a new rumor surfaced: bypass Birmingham altogether and run the route from Atlanta directly to Montgomery and then south along the coast to New Orleans. Proponents of this plan suggest it will be faster and more economical. The logic of the James' administrations decision is very sad. Basically they suggest that the train could not pay for itself, probabily never would so continued funding is "good money after bad" ---I wonder how Alabam's roads would hold up under similar scrutiny and assumptions. *** End of included message ***
