Joseph Vranich, who worked to create Amtrak, now nearly three decades later declares it a "failed experiment." Vranich argues for passenger trains where and when they are needed. He praises innovative commuter rail agencies, high-speed train planners, and long-distance "land-cruise" trains run by independent organizations. This is a blueprint to defederalize and liquidate Amtrak - a bold and convincing call to kill a wasteful government system. Vranich shows how to smartly dissolve Amtrak while keeping vital trains running in the twenty-first century.
