Arthur Frommer on Rail

January 06, 2008

Arthur Frommer is a very well known person in the travel industry (Frommer’s books, magazines, editorial writing, blogs, etc.). He is also a proponent of travel by rail. He doesn’t just support traveling by rail abroad, or only on the existing rail network in the United States; he is a full supporter of expanding the American rail network. In an editorial in the Houston Chronicle November 27, 2007, Arthur makes the point that Amtrak and American passenger rail should be considered a public utility just as roads and airports are. Amen to that.

Here are the links to good editorials by Mr. Frommer:

Opponents of Amtrak rely on hard-to-understand ideological arguments

U.S. population growth defies the arguments put forth by Amtrak opponents

We are a nation wedded to the airplane, and thus unable to cope when the weather prevents airplanes from flying
