   I have this nagging memory that back in 1971,   
   when the National Railroad Passenger Administration   
   was considering a new name, they considered   
   using "Amtrack" (with the "c") before they   
   settled on "Amtrak".   
      
   I seem to recall someone or another actually   
   finding official documents with the longer   
   name from that time and ref'ing them here   
   or in another train oriented group.   
      
   Obviously if there was any such proposal it   
   didn't last very long..   
      
   Does this jog anyone's memory?   
      
   Thanks muchly
