The merits of this proposal have been debated endlessly on AU, but it's been getting more visibility recently. Now, there is a petition on the White House website.
Restore train service to Amtrak's Sunset Limited east of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Since Amtrak has no definate date or plans to restore rail passenger service on The Sunset Limited east of New Orleans while citing to me that they are in negotiations with perspective states; the prospect looks like a long drawn out process with no immediate progress.
I am asking the United States, Congress and The Cabinet of the Obama Administration to intervene, finance and restore Amtrak service on The Sunset Limited eastward into Florida terminating in either Orlando, Jacksonville or Miami.
