[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] "Mr. Chief's" post has done a lot to clarify this issue. Since Albuquerque is a focal point of Amtrak's freight operations and that some portion of that freight is handled in boxcars (as distinct from roadrailers), Albuquerque will continue to see a train (anyone think passenger convenience might be part of the equation??). However, if roadrailers could be substituted for all Albuquerque freight, all bets are off. Lastly, an interesting point: a review of a Rand McNally shows the "lay of the land" to be considerably different than the ATSF System Maps of yore would suggest. The system maps (I reviewed one prior to participating in this thread) would suggest that Isletta is West of Albuquerque and Dalies still further West. In fact, all four are practically on the same longitudinal axis; Dalies (106.75W) is only some three miles west of Belen (106.46W). [/QB][/QUOTE]
