Amtrak calls itself a "national network". That may be true for some people. Don't get me wrong, I am a big supporter of Amtrak and passenger trains in general. However, that said, from Dallas I cannot travel to the following major destinations directly:
Seattle
San Francisco
Denver
Minneapolis
New Orleans
Houston
Anywhere on the east coast
New Orleans has three trains with service to the east coast, midwest, and west coast. Houston has one train. This is a metropolitan area of over 5 million people. I don't understand what Amtrak's thinking is.
We need more service without having to go through Chicago. I know this is just dreaming. Wishing and hoping is not going to make it happen. But, it sure is frustrating.
