    The part brought out in Sam's book but not in his video is that it was built by PRIVATE investment, not taxpayers for the most part and by a railroad whose profits came from freight not passengers. What board of directors or shareholders would stand for that these days?

    Yet I doubt anyone gives a crap about a goddamn train station, however spacious or busy, East of New York City or West of Los Angeles to see a video about it on youtube.
