Reply to "Amtrak’s mission statement"

So is that essentially Amtrak saying screw you to excursion operators? If an outfit like Collis P. Huntington goes out of business because they can’t run excursions which are their main revenue source? It seems like a gamble for a historical society to depend on a third party for access to track to operate excursions which are their main revenue source. VMT has other ways to make revenue, like merchandise, and FWRHS has other railroads to operate excursions on and NS is still willing to move 765. Amtrak or Anderson all of a sudden believes that excursions are not worth the trouble. It will be hard to get him to change his thinking.
