United Press International SAN ANTONIO — A blaring mariachi band and 400 spectators turned out Jan. 27, 1973, to watch the arrival of Amtrak’s sleek In ter American passenger train, inau gurating the nation’s only rail serv ice to Mexico. Last week Secretary of Transpor tation Brock Adams announced he was recommending the InterAmeri- can, along with other long-distance trains, be abolished in a 47 percent cutback of Amtrak service. During the intervening six years, the businessmen who live along the route had watched their origional dreams turn sour. Adams’ an nouncement was merely the final blow, and a good reason for venting the anger that has festered over what they say was the mismanage ment of what could have been a beautiful service. When the service was first an nounced — a Chicago to Laredo route to meet with the Mexican Aztec Eagle that ran to Mexico City — it created visions of the old days when Mexican businessmen rode twice-daily trains into San Antonio, filling the Gunter Hotel. Laredo and Mexican officials remembered full trains carrying tourists to Nuevo Laredo for the bullfights each weekend. Mexican railroad officials re sponded. They had promised to provide all the equipment for direct transfer of Amtrak passenger cars onto the Aztec Eagle. All Amtrak had to do was run daily trains and get them to Laredo on time. The reality of the Amtrak train was less than that. The InterAineri- can runs three times a week, misses the Laredo-Mexico City connection by 23 hours, creeps at an average 49 mph and provides service that San Antonio Mayor Lila Cockrell called "rinky dink. Although Amtrak provides its passengers in the Northeast Cor ridor with comfortable boarding sta tions, complimentary newspapapers and coffee, hourly trains that zoom at speeds up to 100 mph and have on-board telephones, the In- terAmerican supplies its passengers with frozen sandwiches heated in a micro-wave oven by one employee who is too busy to clean the dining area, the mayor said, and San An tonio still does not have a train sta tion. Passengers in San Antonfb buy their tickets at the Southern Pacific station, then are ’ busfed acfdss downtown one mile to wait beside the track for the train in what local Amtrak agent Lester Noble terms "the mud hole. Although Amtrak officials pre dicted six years ago the InterAmeri- can would be the only long-distance passenger train to be “in the black by 1978, the route lost last year. Hamilton contends $7 million of that loss was head’ tacked on by Amtrak s reason revenues are dowa cause of the shoddy service, connections in Mexico, and to promote the route. Officials along the Texasro( Amtrak officials never intend the InterAmerican to continn that Amtrak torpedoed itso| money could could be spent Northeast Corridor. Hamilton goes further, al that Amtrak charged $38 ml Northeast Corridor rail nance expenses against tie distance routes to show the east Corridor trains are pro and the others are not. At Laredo, Chamber meree manager Gary Payne st lieves if the train would make a daily connection# Mexican train, it wouldbeap route. He said many percon take the bus, drive “or even»i Laredo to board the Mexka for a scenic 27-hour ride City for $11 first-class fare.Ai can travel to Mexico City in vate double occupancy merit for about $40. “It has tremendous was marketed right, if it’d right connections with tie across the river. The Mexkd are full all the time and then of people coming to tldi States. You’ve got a built ket,” Payne said. Noble, who has been in road business 35 years and his job with Amtrak i( ter American is abolished, on the local train station, poorest Amtrak has anywl said.
