[QUOTE]Originally posted by SilverStar092: [QB] I agree that this is one case where busses are more practical. Superliner coaches can hold only about 80 people. If you somehow crammed 100 people per car, a train of 20 coaches would only be able to carry 2000 people. Even if Amtrak had 20 spare coaches, it would take days to position them in the right place as many would have to travel NOL-SAS-Lafayette. Indeed making a bus-train-bus trip would be a nightmare and would dump many folks on the doorstep of intermediate towns. The newspaper article cited the possiblity of travel toward Atlanta which is impossible. The NS bridge over the lake is washed out and there are hundreds of trees down along the right of way. See Trains online for details. [/QB][/QUOTE]
