...However, remember, just adding Stores and food at the stations does no good at all if people are not going through the stations to board the train... I do not think shops will have as large an impact the middle of nowhere in Nebraska as they would in Denver and Chicago, ...
Stations would always be placed in populated areas where people are, and people always want entertainment. Small commuter stations might only have a newsstand and convenience store for things the travellers and local residents might want to grab on the way by, but the larger urban stations would be arranged to cater to people who might never ride the train but still have money to spend. Each location would have to be planned out carefully for best effect, but it would add considerably to the viability of Amtrak.... There should be commercial and entertainment venues appropriate to the location...
