AMTRAK *offered a train to Mayor Ray Nagin and the City of New Orleans prior to Huricane Katrina hitting the city! The train could have move 1,000 people out of harm's way! However, the Mayor and City officials declined the offer.

AMTRAK is now offering multiple trains , in the event, another huricane bears down on the city. Guess what? The Mayor has yet to sign any formal agreement accepting the offer.

*The name "Amtrak" is the blending of the words "America" and "track." It is properly used in documents with only the first letter capitalized. The railroad is also known as the National Railroad Passenger Corporation.
