This seems like a smart move if it really happens although losing a few trains will probably not impact the Amtrak bottom line all that much. For what it is worth the North East Corridor should be spun off as an entirely separate business unit. California seems to handle rail fairly well perhaps that should be a separate business unit as well, it appears Florida is well on its way with the Brightline experiment. Other than nostalgia it just doesn't make any business sense to have once daily trains crossing the country at a pace just above wagon train speed and frequently late. Better to concentrate on something that can provide quality service and build out from there.
