[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] Sojourner: Q1: Of course there is always talk by advocacy groups of passenger rail continuing north from Raton along the Front Range of the Rockies. Without extending to the population centers of Pueblo, Colo. Springs and Denver it would not be viable. That would end up being intercity rather than commuter rail. There is good fast rail there, but would their be enought people riding it? Cities in the southwest are growing. Q2: Tulsa and Guthrie would not be served. BNSF travels fairly directly from Wichita to Amarillo. Q3: This unlikely reroute of the Zephyr would be the SWC route CHI-La Junta, then up through Pueblo, Colo Springs, and Denver. West of Denver would be unchanged. No scenery would be missed but all stations from Galesburg to Denver would lose service, including Omaha. KC would be added to the CZ. Q4: When? Don't hold your breath. Note this topic was started in 2002. Only negotiations have been mentioned lately. The SWC will now be slower for the immediate future through KS and CO. The 90 mph ghost of the Super Chief begins to look more like the average Amtrak LD. Canada starts to look like a better vacation destination. [/QB][/QUOTE]
