Leavin' on an Amtrak train.

As a supporter of passenger rail in America, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Joe Biden uses Amtrak on a daily basis. But the Railroads in America, which Amtrak alone moves over 25 million people in a year, is under attack by groups like REASON.ORG and Libertarian ideals in general. They support having more roads, and more cars to pollute the air, and subsidizing the trucking industry to "help give them an edge over the railroads which have robbed them of traffic."
Well, all Libertarians, I have a request for you... try driving in New Jersey during rush hour, and the next day take NJtransit rail operations. Trust me, your support will change.
