[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

Obviously, if I didn't respond, Jetliner, Silent Bob, you, and the other airline stooges on here would try to seize upon my silence as some kind of smoking gun.

OK, Grommit, I'll give you a chance to flush your credentials down the toilet:

In another post you made a comment which, to me, and perhaps others, suggested that Amtrak was every bit as prone to bad weather as the planes are. So, I'll re-phrase my original question:

If flights are severely delayed, because of weather, at airports in the Boston - Washington corridor (Amtrak's "Northeast Corridor" Line) do you want us to believe that Amtrak will be comparably delayed?? As an example, are we to assume, according to your expertise, that severe icing on the runways automatically equates to major delays at Amtrak stations nearby?? I, of course, am referring to WEATHER RELATED delays, not the harrassment (er, "interference") of Amtrak trains by "host" railroads.

I await, with interest, YOUR response. Please, no surrogates, no "ghost writers"--that means you, Jetliner, Silent Bob, and the other stooges.
