[QUOTE]Originally posted by gp35: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by RRRICH: [qb] Concerning rerouting the Sunset from Beaumont to New Orleans -- sure, good idea to serve Baton Rouge, BUT would KCS (or whatever other railroad owns that trackage) be interested? I would guess not........ And that reroute WOULD discontinue service to Lafayette and Lake Charles, which are fairly major cities along the LA Gulf Coast [/qb][/QUOTE]The KCS section of the line in from Beaumont to DeQuincy LA, about 50 miles. The remaining tracks from DeQuincy to NOL is UP. I would think UP would prefer Amtrak on the fast rural northern route. The southern route is industrial, curves, slow bridges, freight yards. But like you said, Amtrak would lose two mid-size markets. [/QB][/QUOTE]
