   False to Fact.   
      
   1) This thread is about National Train Day, which has nothing to do with the   
   issue of revenues/expenses.   
      
   2) Both newspaper and magazine (including this month's Trains magazine)   
   reported that the Northeast Corridor makes an operating profit, not counting   
   capital expenditures (which are high).
