Maybe something like this......
It's the year 2015 and with inflation running at 25% a year and gold at $10,000 per ounce, a cash strapped US government, owing trillions to the chinese, has been "privatizing" government assets and has sold Amtrak to a consortium of chinese banks. In order to damp down the xenophobic public reaction the chinese have bought the rights to the Pennsylvania Railroad name and logo from the Penn-Central corporation, now a private real estate investment trust. They plan on running trains under that name from NY to San Francisco in fifteen hours with luxury service, but of course only the chinese executives can afford to ride it, being much too costly for Americans with their worthless money.
Could be, could be.......
