Sometimes I wonder if the problem with Amtrak wasn't that it was founded at all, but that it was founded several decades too late.
Imagine if passenger rail had been nationalized (even if only on the state level) in the 1930s as a response to the Great Depression when it was at its peak instead of the 1970s when interurban giants like the Pacific Electric, Key System, and Sacramento Northern had already withered away.
