[QUOTE]Originally posted by RRCHINA: [QB] Recent previous posts, here and elsewhere, indicate AMTRAK has commited to keep #'s 3 and 4 on the Raton line. This latest info from BNSF can not have been a surprise as BNSF has continually kept AMTRAK aware of the fiscal requirements if the SWC is to continue where it is. I suggest that AMTRAK is planning to spend $$$ to upgrade the line. It may have the option of using second hand CWR which should be sufficient if properly inspected and graded. This cost, and perhaps others that are needed, would be a one time expenditure and must be comparerd to the costs to relocate onto the TRANSCON. Some of the TRANSCON relocation costs are recurring as opposed to a 'one time' costs to fix the Raton line. Yes I recognize the above is oversimplified but I wanted to suggest this possibility to this forum. [/QB][/QUOTE]
