Our clapback to Wendover Productions' YouTube Video "The One Tiny Law That Keeps Amtrak Terrible," sure did stir up a hornet's nest! So, Phil responds to viewer comments on his take and discusses everything from Amtrak's truncated Adirondack to why so many people don't understand the purpose of the railroad. As always, Stop, Look, and Listen! ______________________________________ Show Bibliography: 1.
