Welcome Steve :)

The one which I have added on my orginal post it was a oversite Guy

First of all sorry to hear that your train was delayed. Secondly I was think of using a Hub system because it would be able to cover more town and cities by using this formation and maybe have internal domestic competition against the airlines Guy

Hi I wanted to share this web site with you all because it has a Amtrak 1971 timeable on the web site as well as other companies before 1971 and also describes what passenger cars were used. http://www.geocities.com/orvillei/ttindex.html Guy

Well it maybe be a idea if they create some new Hubs to feed the long distance trains. I know New York and LA have a number of surban trains run by the state and several by amtrak. But should amtrak look at increasing them, Most major airline you a hub system why shouldn't amtrak. Guy

Ok Well I am not sure what the cost of keeping the various yards for the different types of coaches are. I know their are allot of people on the forum who like the superliner, So what I would put forward to replace the superline is a coach super-viewliner Lounge which has two levels which is...

I don't know this is a good route or Not From Boston to Atlanta then on to Miami. Why is their not another engine at the other end of the train facing the other way, so all the dricver would have to do is get out of one engine and walk down into the other end. Guy

Just for interest why extend the train to Boston, wouldn't this increase the amount of mileage which the train will have to cover to complete the journey. Is their not enough passenger train already going over the northern passenger corridor? Guy

Would thses destingation be good for new routes 82 Ex-Georgian 5-3, 4-10 Atlanta-St. Louis 92 Wabash Cannonball 301, 304 St. Louis-Detroit 93 Pan-American 8, 9 Cincinnati-New Orleans 103 Cincinnati Limited 77, 78 Cincinnati-New York 102 Ex-Redbird 65 Cincinnati to Chicago rename the...

Well I was just interested to see if I could find a list of old passenger route and I was so please I did find a web site it was very interesting. I liked some of the old names better. Guy

I thought I add web address link which shows all the passenger routes which use to run before Amtrak took over most of the passenger routes in 1971. Some of them sounds good and may make money. http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Arti...01/138fddcg.asp Guy

Thanks for that It leads back to the freight problem, I presume UP own most of the track so they are going to dispatch their train first on any single track. If this is a busy corridor the states or Government should help with the cost of extra capacity. Guy
