After reading "Transportation chief calls Amtrak lapses 'unacceptable'" (June 30) in Wednesday's Sun, I started wondering if other train systems are having the same problems we are. I mean, it gets just as hot in New Jersey as it does here, but I'm not hearing of their "hell train" incidents. Are they having any? How about the Long Island railroad? Or Metro North? Or any other system? Surely Baltimore can't be the only system with these problems. Or are we just not hearing about them?

If not, can we get some good advice from them?
