Hey Amtrak,

Here is a few things that I thinbk you guys should be doing-

1. Rebuild older power and sell it to commuter agencies that need the power-good way to make some extra green on the side.

2. Start getting the cars in the backlot of Beech Grove refurbished and rebuilt. The last few superliners I've been on were total junk, and wanted to throw me out of my seat.

3. Dont let the freight railroads stab you every chance they get. NS is very good at this-seen it plenty of times out of Toledo, Ohio.

4. Electrical outlets at every seat on every train. That would be a good thing to those that have cell phones and computers.

5. Get rid of that photography policy-that to me is a photography ban in itself, therefore violating the First Admendment right to freedom of expression.

6. Try not to print a nationwide timetable, or scale it back for the regions that are covered. If this was to get in the wrong hands, you are looking at major losses, because the terrorists would know where to attack and when.

7. Get the NEC in better shape. When I was in Washington, DC, the NEC looked to be confusing and somewhat old-update that ASAP!

8. Hire some people that are at least compentent, not some jo schmo that thinks his crap doesnt stink.

That's all I have. Anyone else care to elaborate further?
