"They cancelled all the Amtrak trains"
According to a Communist that just took the ANSWER stage. Someone really hates anti-war protesters in DC.

2. Amtrak says they had to make some voluntary repairs.
No one buys it.

5. Talking about Amtrak. Where were they during Katrina and Rita
I didn't see long trains loaded with people being evacuated...

Let's see a train can hold about 1,000 people. You can run 20 trains per hour on a dual track. So that's 20,000 people/hour/direction. They could have evacuated 500,000 people per direction in 24 hours. Where are the pictures?
