While a separate train from NOL to JAX would fill in the gap, I'd guess that it would be more expensive for Amtrak to run a separate trainset back and forth between NOL & JAX. If the Sunset Ltd just went on east from NOL, it would be with the same crew and trainset. And for me personally, I wouldn't have to change trains in NOL if the Sunset simply went on to JAX. Much of this is pie-in-the-sky 'cuz I'd certainly stop in NOL and spend a week there anyway. Changing trains wouldn't be a big deal.catapults would help.I bet I can make a pig fly.... and pigs have started to fly. :lol::lol: :lol: :lol: Next someone will post that the Pioneer & Desert Wind are coming back!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
And it may just be me... but i just dont GET the whole Sunset Limited to Florida thing. When it was operating, I dont think I ever heard one positive thing about the train. Granted we probably do need some kind of service on that route.. but why not a seperate train of some sort.

I just realized how Amtrak can get the funding for the Sunset East!While a separate train from NOL to JAX would fill in the gap, I'd guess that it would be more expensive for Amtrak to run a separate trainset back and forth between NOL & JAX.

it was on CNN cause of the billions and billions of dollars it was going to cost to operate it and you could replace that train with 1 daily round trip busNice try but we all know Amtrak isn't big enough to make CNN headlines until two or more people die on one of their trains.
You folks can base your decisions on whatever you would like. As for myself...it was on CNN cause of the billions and billions of dollars it was going to cost to operate it and you could replace that train with 1 daily round trip busNice try but we all know Amtrak isn't big enough to make CNN headlines until two or more people die on one of their trains.
You calling me a pig? :angry:I bet I can make a pig fly.... and pigs have started to fly. :lol::lol: :lol: :lol: Next someone will post that the Pioneer & Desert Wind are coming back!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
While a pig (Sus scrofa) flying strikes me as quite unusual, "The Traveler" flying doesn't. Does any airline have a penthouse on their plane? :lol:You calling me a pig? :angry:I bet I can make a pig fly.... and pigs have started to fly. :lol::lol: :lol: :lol: Next someone will post that the Pioneer & Desert Wind are coming back!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
I have to fly on 4/7!
Does the upper level of a 747 count? :huh:Does any airline have a penthouse on their plane? :lol:
