Well Here We Go Again!! With a Shutdown of this Length No Reason that Amtrak can't use the Sleepers and Coaches that Normally are on the EB or in Reserve and Move them to the CZ and SWC and then the CS Route! Sort of the Old Pioneer/Desert Wind Redux combined with the CZ!! Know the Crew would like the Work instead of having to Lay Off w/o Pay!
The Previous Thread on this Mostly had people pointing out why this Wouldnt Work But Two Weeks, they need to have a Plan as other Posters suggested!? This is the Buisiest time of the Year on the Western Trains and Amtrak doesnt need To Lose Any More Revenue by Cancelling the Trains between Montana and Minnesota! Maybe they could even run the Route through Wyoming like the CZ does when an Alternate is needed, then go up to Washington/Oregon Via the Old Routes that arent being used Right now or just by Freight! Slow Trains Beat No Trains!! :help:
Gonna be a Tough Ticket on the CZ/SWC/TE/SSL, even more so than Currently! :excl: :excl: :excl:
