Thanks all and I hope you enjoyed the thread

I really enjoyed the movie, actually the trilogy, even though the 3rd part wasn't as good as the first 2. Christopher Lloyd always made me laugh.

Has anyone seen Michael J. Fox lately? He is really going down hill. He was always so cool and very smart.

Is AMTRAK making any money yet? I have read that ridership has increased the past few years.

I loved all 3 movies and have always been a big Michael J Fox fan - as well as Christopher Lloyd!

On paper AMTRAK makes just enough money to maintain it's wholly owned infrastructure, payouts to BLET crews and hours of of service employees, trackage use fees to other railroads. If there ever was a day that AMTRAK didn't make one dime Congress who is the sole owner of AMTRAKS stock would bail them out as they do annually.
