I don't share his libertarian politics, but Randal O'Toole is a good critic of the fashion for dumb rail projects around the country (See his latest on a North Carolina project: Another Rail Boondoggle).

He recently took Amtrak across the country, a trip he chronicled in consecutive posts:

Back on the Rails Again

Amtrak's Coast Starlight

Amtrak's California Zephyr

Amtrak's Capital Limited

and Amtrak is More Expensive Than You Think
