[QUOTE]Originally posted by SilverStar092: [QB] Terrific ideas by North American...it appears lots of thought went into this. Interesting ideas by other posters but I have a couple of observations: Service to Asheville is a must but it would be better via Winston-Salem if the track is in good shape. Service from Norfolk seems another good move as that area is so populated. Tidewater, Mountaineer, or Asheville Special all should be considered as the name. Perhaps run one train Norfolk-Raleigh-W.Salem-Asheville and the second train Columbia-Charlotte-Salisbury-Asheville. If the Silver Star got to Columbia at about 6am northbound, it would conenct perfectly. Imagine the traffic FL-Charlotte or Hickory in the summer when everyone goes to the mountains (or in winter for skiing). Forgot Charlotte-ATL-FL as this is too roundabout. I also would add a day train WAS-Charlottesville-CLT-ATL as the old Southern Ry Piedmont did. This whole area is very heavily populated and this would be a winner for sure. Forget changes to the SW Chief...it already does great business from CHI. I do agree a KC-STL-Cincinnati-Pittsburgh-NY connecting train is needed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
