[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] OK volks, using Train Status, let's review #4's arrival at Newton, i.e. East end of the Restricted speed: #4(28) 17ML #4(27) 40ML #4(26) 43ML #4(25) 31ML #4(24) 43ML Now let's review departure from La Junta, i.e. West end of Restricted speed to determine how much time was lost through the Restricted zone; #4(28) 1ML #4(27) 1ML #4(26) 1ML #4(25) 1ML #4(24) 3ML Therefore, it appears that some 30 min is being lost account the speed restriction, and those who favor the continuation of the existing route could argue that scheduling issues are unfounded. I really think some "heavy" is "doing a little leanin" as it would otherwise appear a no brainer to move ahead with the reroute. This will especially be the case when at such time, Amtrak assumes full maintenance cost of Lamy-La Junta and the incremental cost of 79 over 40 La Junta-Newton. There are too many other places to spend those $$$ where greater public benefit would be attained than on a "one a day" route [/QB][/QUOTE]
