[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] Rodger, Between Newton, KS and Dalies (a rail jct 10 mi west of Belen NM), the SWC diverges from the highly traveled BNSF "Transcon" which goes through Wichita KS, Amarillo TX, Clovis and Vaughn NM. The transcon is flatter and less scenic, with the possible exception of Abo Canyon just east of Belen, which has just been double tracked relieving the last bottleneck on this BNSF mainline. No longer served by Amtrak would be Hutchinson, Dodge City, Garden City, Lamar, La Junta, Trinidad, Raton, Las Vegas NM, and Lamy/Santa Fe. Wichita and Amarillo are more populous than any of these. ABQ would require a detour north from Belen and back to Dalies where the train would have to be turned around somewhere to avoid running backwards. A lot of nice scenery would be missed, and the historic line of the Super Chief would fade into history. [/QB][/QUOTE]
