In practice freight pays the bills and Amtrak is a federally subsidized money sink. It makes sense in the northeast. when I worked in Boston I sometimes had to go to New York City. By the time you get to Logan, jump through the hoops, land at JFK, and take ground transportation into the city, 4 hours from downtown Boston to downtown NY looks good. The company's travel people didn't think that way. 'It's only an hour and a half flight.'
