Obviously, what their goal is - and it's been their goal from the beginning - is to liquidate the company.

If Amtrak fails, intercity passenger rail will be gone in this country, ... If we can't make it at Amtrak, we're all in trouble.

We played really solid defense. Once we got the four runs there might have been a little overconfidence, but I guess that's better than having a losing attitude. We let them climb back in but we played solid defense until we could squeeze a run in on them in the ninth inning.

We know this won't solve the problem, but this gives them another tool to work with, ... The freight companies have been extremely cooperative. They have opened routes to us that we don't run on.

We gave up a big hit that scored three runs on one of those open diamonds. It would have been a double on a fenced field. It turned into an inside-the-park home run because she smashed it. On an open field it's going to go.

you've really got an auto-centric mentality among the bureaucratic elite. They've got absolutely no conception of the role that rail plays. ... All they're trying to do is to destroy the company and not have their fingerprints on it.

They have no plan for Amtrak other than bankruptcy,

They want at least one transportation mode that is totally free market.

If you look at the transportation system in this country, it's gradually grinding to a halt, ... Now you've got the price of fuel going through the roof, and we've got a whole transportation system that's built on cheap fuel. One of the ways to solve some of the fuel problems cheaply is right here.

If he found out I was sleeping, he'd call the local newspaper, ... That's what he did to my predecessor.
