Train News: New era in train travel began this month

A new era in train travel began this month.
We are now in an era where there is too little (not too much) train service.
Our son Willie, looking out his window at the light rail train, says "It looks like Bombay" in reference to the crowded trains.  My brother didn't consider taking Amtrak, which stops only a few blocks from his house, "All booked" he notes.
This is GOOD NEWS ! 

NineShifter Mickey Hodges was the first to refer us to "Travelers Shift to Trains" story in NYTimes.

Among the great facts in the story:

Three quarters of Americans now believe more money should be spent on developing and improving mass transit systems.
