What if Amtrak Never Existed?

Описание: The National Passenger Rail Corporation, better known as Amtrak, transformed American passenger rail in the 1970s. But what if the naysayers in Nixon's cabinet had won out, and Amtrak never existed, leaving operations in the hand of private carriers? My name's Caleb, and this is a brand-new series I like to call Alternate Universe Transit Authority.
