> “I’m not in this business to make money off of it,” says Lowe, a 33-year veteran of the airline industry. Some trips he has taken, he says, have cost him more money than the dollars spent on tickets by passengers in the Amtrak trains his cars are hitched to at the end.
It costs him more than the entire train of passengers? $3.67/mile is insane.
$3.67 per mile is just the "cost of gas". I bet he has to pay to get the train from storage to the spot where they'd pick it up, do the same on the other end to come back home, and do it again to get back to his parking spot.
