All my pseudonym asked was,
"How does the shutdown affect
AmKrap AmTrak?"
IMHO, an 'ad hominem' attack on my "secret" (ha-ha) Identity should not be used to mis-direct
my original question into a (well directed, IMHO) attack on the excessive wages of generally in-
competent Federal employees.

My simple question was - and remains - "How is
AmKrap Amtrak affected by the shutdown?"
- Sincerely, R. Bushnell Sperry-Hill und Roemer von Starkenberg-
"Nicht Allen Ponderosen Denken Kann ... "
* Several years ago (1991), my then wife called AmKrap to book a ticket for herself and our daughter Cindy (Jackelopette) on the Coast Starlight from nearby Oxnard to San Jose - where I was helping to prepare #2472 for her inaugural 'Great Event' excursion. The eejit** AmKrap rep tried to sell her a bus ticket to Bakersfield and then on the San Juaquin to Stockton and another bus to San Jose
... Nancy had to VERY emphatically point out to the AmKrap rep that the Coast Starlight - NOT the San Joaquin - passed through both Oxnard AND San Jose en route to Seattle, and argue with her for several minutes before obtaining the correct all-rail tickets
