AMTRAK~Travel Adventure~Yes or No

I hate planes, always have always will. Following it the most effecient form of transportation has to be the train. Problem is the american commuter train system is not up to the modern standards most of us would expect. Yes there are electricity, toilets, dining cars, and sleeping cars. Unfortunatly though these aspects are up to standard nothing else is. Due to Amtrak having less rights on the tracks all other non amtrak trains have priority when it comes to crossings and such. Whenever two trains are passing each other one has to stop, Amtrak has to always be that one. This leads to delays and longer trips than what one could get if they had just taken the greyhound. Reality, if this was fixed Amtrak would be one of the greatest ways to travel all around.
