00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: up Park Avenue, just past Grand Central Station, heading north,

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: there is the spectacular JP Morgan building. They're beginning to

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,280

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: scope and scale from the heart of the Civil War

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,200

Speaker 2: Tony Hatch.

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Concessions that could be given could include concessions to Amtrak

38
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: to make their service better over the Union Pacific portion

39
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: they brought. I've ridden long haul trains from New Orleans

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: to LA you know, and they're always late, etc. They

Speaker 1: where Norfolk Southern is. You know, that's where we get

44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: into the Northeast Corridor. So there are things that Amtrak

45
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: could actually get out of this. It'll be curious to see.

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're a little rudderless right now at Amtrak,

47
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: but they will be one of the many stakeholders who

48
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: are going to come with a place and you know,

49
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: in a fork in their back pocket, a sharp knife,

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and everybody will be looking for something.

51

53
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: on YouTube podcasts. This is the single best idea
